TRIVIUM have announced a UK tour!

Set to take place in November next year, the tour will see the American heavy metal band hitting UK shores for a run of shows that kick off a much wider run across mainland Europe. Support for the tour comes from HEAVEN SHALL BURN, TESSERACT and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY.

Speaking about the tour, the band says, “it is an honour to be touring with HEAVEN SHALL BURN, TESSERACT, and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY. HSB was one of TRIVIUM’s earliest introductions to hardcore/metalcore mixed with melodic death and death metal; with very important lyrics that dealt with society and the world as a whole. HSB and TRIVIUM started off on the same record label back in the early 2000’s. FFAA are some of our best friends on the planet and one of our favourite bands; and TESSERACT is a band we’ve been dreaming of touring with. THIS is the tour to bring back touring in Europe and the UK!”

HEAVEN SHALL BURN guitarist Mark Weichert says, “there has been a strong and special connection between TRIVIUM and HEAVEN SHALL BURN since the earliest days. When we met TRIVIUM for the first time, they were very young but already highly talented youngsters, today they’re a global power of metal. Over the years HEAVEN SHALL BURN and TRIVIUM destroyed small clubs and demolished big arenas together, we had great times together in both Saalfeld and Sydney. We´re proud and touched, that our common history is now being continued and we finally tour Europe with the guys again.”

TESSERACT vocalist Dan Tompkins comments, “we’re thrilled to be on such a great tour. It’s awesome to be playing with such great and hard working bands; we’ll make the tour a real success. I’m sure we’re all going to have a lot of fun! We’ll be playing new material and taking our show live again is something we’re very excited about.” And FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY says, “there’s no better place to mark our return to touring than the UK! The last few times we played the UK we had some of the best shows of our career, and our last headliner at Underworld is still by far one of the most insane shows we have done as a band. We were all very disappointed to miss UK Tech-Fest too, so these dates are definitely something to look forward to for us. We seriously can’t wait, you don’t want to miss this one.”

Thu 11th Nov – GLASGOW O2 Academy
Fri 12th Nov – BIRMINGHAM O2 Academy
Sat 13th Nov – MANCHESTER Victoria Warehouse
Sun 14th Nov – LONDON O2 Academy Brixton
