The near-month-long trek runs from August 8th through September 9th. See all confirmed dates below. Comments the band, “We are super stoked and humbled that we got asked to do an arena tour with Volbeat and Killswitch Engage. We have never done anything this big can’t wait to play these massive crowds every damn night! We have no idea what to expect but we’re sounding tighter than ever right now so bring it on!”
