The last time Killswitch Engage stood on a Spanish stage was in 2013 at Resurrection Fest. Since then, more than a decade has passed—and now the wait is finally coming to an end. This upcoming October, the pioneers of metalcore will make their long-awaited return with two exclusive shows, one in Barcelona and one in Madrid, together with no others than Fit For An Autopsy, Decapitated & Employed to Serve.

From Massachusetts to Madrid: Killswitch Engage Ready to Ignite the Capital

The band, hailed as one of the genre’s founding forces, will bring their trademark blend of soaring melodies, crushing riffs, and relentless energy to the Spanish capital. Fans can expect a setlist that traverses their celebrated career while also showcasing material from their latest album, This Consequence.

But the evening doesn’t belong to Killswitch Engage alone. The stage will also host three heavyweight acts that promise to turn the concert into a full-scale metal festival: the uncompromising Fit For An Autopsy, the Polish death metal giants Decapitated, and the rising British powerhouse Employed To Serve. Together, the lineup offers a varied but equally intense display of modern heavy music at its finest.

The event is organized by Route Resurrection Fest, the team behind Spain’s biggest metal festival. Their brand has become synonymous with high-quality tours and exclusive shows, and this Madrid date is set to be no exception. As with all Route Resurrection events, the production and atmosphere are expected to meet the highest standards, giving fans a night worthy of the bands performing.

For concertgoers, Sala La Riviera offers the perfect setting. Known for its intimate yet electric vibe, the venue will provide fans with the chance to experience Killswitch Engage and their guests up close in an environment that amplifies every breakdown, scream, and sing-along chorus.

With tickets already on sale, organizers are urging fans not to wait. Given the rarity of Killswitch Engage headlining shows in Spain, demand is expected to be high, and the event is likely to sell out well in advance.

On October 1, Madrid won’t just host a concert—it will host a gathering of metal fans united by some of the most powerful bands on the planet. For those who want to be part of this explosive night, the message is clear: secure your ticket, raise your horns, and prepare to be engulfed by the sound.

Act now—grab your tickets, spread the word, and prepare for a night of unforgettable metal mayhem.
