Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall and Acaro Tour

.
Killswitch Engage will be hitting the road next month for their "Alive Or Just Breathing" 10th anniversary tour which will feature support from Shadows Fall and Acaro.The tour will kick off on November 24 with KsE's headline set at the annual California Metalfest in San Bernardino, CA and will conclude on December 20 in Portland, Maine. Roadrunner sent over these details: With original frontman Jesse Leach, who left the band shortly after AOJB's release, back in the fold since early 2012, the time was more than perfect for the band to celebrate the album with a tour during which they will play the entire album from start to finish. They will also play other more recent hits. It's only appropriate that longtime Massachusetts cohorts Shadows Fall, who came up in the same scene as KsE, will serve as main support. Opening act Acaro also hail from Massachusetts, making it somewhat of a hometown affair. "I honestly never thought I would have the opportunity to sing these songs on stage with Killswitch again," Leach said. "Now here I am back in the band and celebrating 10 years of the release of this record. I am absolutely thrilled for this tour. I can't wait to sing 'Rise inside' and 'Just Barely Breathing' among others. On top of it all, we have our good friends in Shadows Fall and Acaro joining us. This tour will be one we will all remember! " Guitarist Joel Stroetzel echoed those sentiments, saying, "We're all looking forward to this tour! It's going to be a great time on all levels. Playing songs we haven't played in many years, celebrating the 10th anniversary of Alive or Just Breathing with Jesse now back in the band, and just hanging out with some great old friends -- we're psyched." Advance tickets for all shows will be $20.02, in honor of the year the album was released. The band will also be making a limited number of tickets available per show for the price of $5.21, in honor of the date the album was released, to military personnel with the help of VetTix.org. Vet Tix pre-sale begins on October 2, while public onsales start October 5. Alive or Just Breathing was also recently elected to Decibel's Hall of Fame. The album's extensive Hall of Fame profile will be featured in the December issue of the magazine, arriving just in time for the tour.
