Three-time Grammy-nominated hard rock heavyweights Killswitch Engage, recognized by Forbes as “one of modern metal’s most cherished acts,” have a lot going into the new year.
Many fans recall the band’s powerful streaming event performance, which originally aired last summer from The Palladium in Worcester, MA, home to so many memorable and iconic KsE shows throughout the band’s two-decade history. Directed by David Brodsky and Allison Woest for MyGoodEye, the performance found KsE performing 2019’s “Atonement” in full, along with the 2000-released self-titled album in full – with some surprises along the way.
The band will be rebroadcasting the “Live At The Palladium” streaming event on Friday, January 14, 2022 at 7pm ET, with continued on-demand viewing access through Sunday, January 16 – this time with all band members live-chatting with fans in real time during the performance stream.
Fans who previously purchased access to the streaming event will be able to re-watch it for free. Additionally, all ticket holders for the North American Atonement Tour 2022 will be able to view the stream for free, as long as tickets are purchased by January 10, 2022. For all others, streaming event tickets will be available separately for $12. New merch and VIP bundles will be available as well.

Also, be on the lookout for an eventual CD/Blu-ray and vinyl release of the livestream in 2022 via Metal Blade Records.
In other KsE news, the band has earned another impressive accolade. Their fourth album, “As Daylight Dies,“ released by Roadrunner Records on November 21, 2006, has been certified platinum by the RIAA. The record produced fan favorites such as “My Curse” and “The Arms of Sorrow.” The band also received a platinum certification for the aforementioned single “My Curse,” as well as gold certifications for 2004’s “The End of Heartache“ and the “Set This World Ablaze“ DVD. The single “The End of Heartache” and their cover of “Holy Diver” are also certified gold.
Lastly, the The Atonement Tour will be back on the road at clubs and theaters across the U.S. and into Canada. The powerful lineup, which includes Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s August Burns Red as main support and Light the Torch as the opening act. As fans are more than well aware, LTT front-man Howard Jones served as KsE‘s singer from 2002 through 2012.
All dates are below. Tickets are on-sale here.
This tour package was originally planned for Spring 2020 but was ultimately postponed two dates into the original run due to the global shutdown that was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will now include all of the rescheduled dates as well as several new locations across the U.S.
“The long wait is finally over,” says KsE singer Jesse Leach. “We worked very hard to carefully piece this tour back together properly. After the tour was shut down two days in when it started in 2020, we are bringing it back! We are honored and stoked to have August Burns Red and Howard Jones and the boys in Light the Torch along to make this an ‘all killer, no filler’ lineup.”
Jones echoes the sentiment, saying, “FINALLY! We get to pick up where we left off on the Atonement tour with KsE and ABR! We couldn’t be more excited to resume with the same lineup, and additional dates have been added so don’t miss this noisy party. Now, stop reading this and get your tickets. GO! This will be a tour to remember and you do not want to miss it!”
