Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium announce co-headline UK tour
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and TRIVIUM have announced a co-headline UK tour!
Set for January and February next year, the tour will see the Welsh metalcore band teaming up with the American metal band for a arena tour across the UK.
The tour will see BFMV perform The Poison in its entirety, whilst TRIVIUM will perform Ascendancy in full as both bands look to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of their landmark records. Tickets for the tour will be available from Friday, March 1st and can be purchased here.
“I honestly can’t believe it’s been 20 years since the release of The Poison, and what an incredible 20 years it’s been,” says BFMV frontman Matt Tuck. “I feel so proud of what we’ve achieved as a band in the last two decades and it all started with that debut album. The Poison is such an important part of our lives musically and personally and we know the massive impact it had on the metal world on a global level. This tour will be made even more special as our brothers in TRIVIUM are also joining us on the road to celebrate and play in its entirety their stunning album Ascendancy.”
“BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE’s The Poison and TRIVIUM’s Ascendancy are two records whose influence can be heard to this day – in the DNA of modern metal,” adds TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy. “It’s incredible to think of the impact the albums had when they came out in 2005. They were both like bolts of lightning. Both bands grew up independently of each other in different countries and separately from any movement or scene but both shared a common love of melodic heavy metal at the core; and both had similar meteoric rises right out of the gate. TRIVIUM and BFMV were in such whirlwinds when our respective albums came out that we each never truly got to play together or sit back and celebrate during the maelstrom of constant touring, recording and globetrotting. But that’s what this anniversary tour is. It’s a celebration by the bands to the fans of an important era, and most importantly it’s an invitation to fans come and have an epic night with us and sing and rage and celebrate the awesome power of the music.”
“This is going to be the metal tour of 2025,” concludes Tuck. “BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and TRIVIUM The Poisoned Ascendancy World Tour 2025. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of both albums and playing them in their entirety. Get excited people, it’s going to be special and we can’t wait to celebrate with you all.”
