What a great night! This was my first time returning to this venue after its big changes. I was never a big fan of the place before but the new permanent amphitheater is amazing! Killswitch was phenomenal as always! Lamb of Gods set was fun with the old and new hits and Randy's voice and energy reminded me, this is the heavy show of the year!

One of their best shows ever!
All night in and out of the pit! I live for this sh%#. Just a little sad because i lost my fitbit and the dirt bag that found it did not turn it in. My own fault for wearing it there knowing I was in the pait all night! Oh well,
KSE FRIGGIN RULES!!

Awesome concert at an awesome venue. Just about everything about the night was better than expected. Parking was super close. Easy in and easy out. Doors opened a little early, so not much waiting in the cold. Lines moved fast. Friendly staff. The inside of the Radius is really nice. My family and I watched from the raised platform to the left of the stage. My wife and daughters are not the tallest people, so the platform gave them possibly their best view of a concert ever. And then the bands were amazing. Light the Torch came out and killed it. The whole crowd was chanting for Howard. I didn’t know much about August Burns Red before the show , but I left a fan. Then Killswitch comes on and they destroyed. Super awesome energy from them as always. The cherry on top was when Howard came out on stage with Killswitch to end the show. I’ve been to quite a few concerts, but this was one of my favorites ever.

A spectacular experience and a dream come true it’s been 2 years since the Covid shutdown and postponement of the atonement tour It completely killed my soul hearing about the band postponing the tour in 2020 and once I heard they were coming back last year I was so happy and excited then months later It was an absolute dream come true words can’t describe how happy I was I literally sang my heart out like no other never have I ever been this happy in my life it felt great I’m definitely looking forward to seeing them again when they come back to California

Though Jesse is the original lead singer for Killswitch Engage, I was introduced to this band and their music when Howard Jones was the frontman. That is my favorite lineup.
Howard’s current band, Light The Torch opened the night last night. I didn’t know one thing about them besides Howard. And they KILLED. The name of the second band who played escapes me right now, but they were really good too. Killswitch Engage took the stage and did not disappoint. I do miss Howard’s presence in Killswitch. But, Jesse is a fantastic frontman. And I was so glad that Killswitch brought out both Jesse and Howard the last 3 or 4 songs of their set. I wish Killswitch had done “Signal Fire”, which features both Jesse and Howard. But, this show did not disappoint!!

It was really nice of the band making it possible to still buy tickets and watch the show a day or two after the initial airing!
Also surprised that it included a documentary, and a little acting from the band to link the 2 parts of the concert. I was amazed at the concept of them "being sent to the past" to play their self-titled album.

The show was at the Cleveland Agora, this was a sold out show with a buzz in the air of excitement. The show started out with an overdriven audio issue during Light the Torch set and was resolved a few songs into their set. August Burns Red played shortly after and had an awesome set, they played a few songs off their new album and sime of old.
They alone could have been the headliner. Killswitch Engage took the stage with energy and passion as the performed older songs and the new. Jesse's voice sounded awesome. The guitar riffs and lyrics brought back many memories. When Howard took the Stage near the end the audience loved every note he belted out. It was sad to see the concert end but yet we witnessed an amazing night of music. This is a must see tour.

Tenside were great, but didn't really grip me. The second band which was a death metal band unfortunately bored me as I am not a death metal fan. However, killswitch engage kicked ass and only having seen them for the first time was amazing. They sound just as good live as on CD. I would check them out again, but hopefully with better support bands.

Very good show from Killswitch Engage. I'd been waiting since January 2007 to see them do a headline show again so I'm glad to have finally seen them do it after all these years. The set was a bit short at only 80 minutes - most headline shows are 90 minutes - so I think they could've played another couple of songs. All the songs they did play were great though and generated energetic responses from the crowd.

Epic show! Only reason I deducted half a star was because Vein was utter trash but they were the beginning act. Even though I never heard of After the burial, I enjoyed them immensely! They really brought the hype set the stage for KSE and PWD. I’ve seen killswitch live before and they’re always killing it but never seen parkway. Their performance was like watching an opera. A brutal, vicious metal opera. 10/10 will take every opportunity to see these guys live again.

Great show. Loved meeting the band. Great guys and very down to Earth.
The VIP was ruined by their tour mgr, he was a dick...didn't mind waiting for over an hour but he wouldn't let security allow bathroom breaks...n took my pics while still in motion unlike every other fan bc I was last in line. $300 n no pic. Very disappointed.

Killswitch is always killer show !!! So fortunate to have seen them many many times over the years with some of the greatest bands that have ever existed... I have seen them all over the US countless times... their cover of Dio’s holy diver is just about one of the greatest covers of all time - no doubt !!! I am glad to see they continue to tour with heavy hitters... born of Osiris is one of my favorite bands out there today and to see them both together at this Jersey venue was a beautiful slice of heaven 👊🏼🤘🏼Thank you for doing Jersey proper and sharing the passion we all have to let it out !!!! Great Fucking night - I will always be thankful for nights like these !!!

This show was absolutely fantastic!!! Killswitch was not only amazing in concert but probably the best meet and greet I've ever been to!! I even got to hug Jesse which made my night!!! Defintely would recommend one of their shows to anyone. Reverb was a pretty nice place too and the barrier was right against the stage which made it even better to be that close!!!

KillSwitch Engage did a great job but The House Of Blues in Anaheim was way too small for the crowd. There was no way to walk when the bands were playing. And worst of al l the top floor seats where complete the empty. Killswitch deserves 5 stars but the venue deserves 1 star. Hence 3.
Anaheim, CA@House Of Blues
Black Wizard was solid for an opening act, had slower songs which didn't pump up the crowd as much as I've seen at other shows even with smaller venues, but they still had energy and didn't drag on, Killswitch was phenomenol, the best performance of the night, great setlist and great energy and connection with the crowd. Volbeat also put on a hell of a show, really liked the Johnny Cash cover.

After 12 looooong years, I finally got to see Killswitch Engage live for the first time ever. I am left craving to see them live again time and time again. The energy was undying, the mashing was relentless, and the band themselves were on fire! by far the greatest concert I've ever been too!hoping to one day meet you all!- Bender

Great show and a great lineup of bands. KSE always kills it and to see them in a small venue is always a treat. I think Jesse their vocalist, even though he was sick as a dog, has found his way with the band and is a great front man. But The treat to watch is Adam D the guitarist. Always fun to watch and he's an animal on the guitar.
Phoenix, AZ@The Marquee
killswitch engage has been one of my favorite bands to see live because of the energy they bring out with every song. They stopped during one of the songs to make sure one of the fans got hurt and wanted to make sure the person got the attention he needed and shortly resume the performance. As the venue it was was good, huge crowd and allowed the fans to enter with water bottles since it was a hot humid day. If you're coming to see a show at this venue, make sure to come in early, bring water and some sun screen. Summer Stage at central park! good venue
