Beartooth singer Caleb Shomo comments:
“Summer of Loud is gonna be a clinic in metalcore ass-whoopery, and it’s an absolute honor to be a part of this epic tour with such good company. Strap in for one of the most fun summer shows of your life.”
I Prevail’s Eric Vanlerberghe adds:
“The Summer of Loud tour is about to be the best metal tour of the year. Where else can you see some of the best modern metal bands all on the same stage? It’s going to be a tour you don’t wanna miss.”
Killsiwtch Engage’s Jesse Leach states:
“This summer tour has shaped up to be a huge and exciting line up. I am honored and stoked to be able to share the stage with such solid and killer bands. I feel a deep sense of purpose with this new album and to be able to play some of these songs on stages across the U.S. and Canada. This is the tour of the summer!”
Parkway Drive’s Winston McCall concludes:
“Summer of Loud, yep that sounds correct. This is the literal definition of a stacked line up, it’s straight up insane. Nothing but power from top to bottom, this is going to be a summer to remember. So stoked to be part of it, so siked to bring the carnage and chaos. Let’s fucking GO!!!”
Killswitch Engage have shared a new video for the song “Collusion,” taken from their new album, This Consequence, available now via Metal Blade Records.

The tour features four rotating headliners, who are the heavyweights of the genre: BEARTOOTH, I PREVAIL, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and PARKWAY DRIVE. The support headliners are THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and THE AMITY AFFLICTION. TX2 will open June 22 through July 2; KINGDOM OF GIANTS will open July 5 through July 15; and DARK DIVINE will serve as openers from July 16 through July 27. In addition, the tour will be donating $1 from each ticket sold to Living The Dream Foundation, non-profit foundation that helps children and young adults living with life-threatening illnesses stay positive, maintain hope, and appreciate every day, regardless of their affliction.
