Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine have just announced a co-headlining 2025 tour, each playing one of their classic albums in full. Joining them on select dates are August Burns Red, Sylosis and Bleed From Within.
The year marks the 20th anniversary of Trivium's breakout sophomore record Ascendancy, which features standouts such as "Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr," "A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation" and "Like Light to the Flies." Those are all among the band's most played songs live and, this time around, fans will get to hear deep cuts and rarities off the 2004 effort.
Bullet For My Valentine, meanwhile, will be celebrating the two-decade anniversary of their debut record, The Poison, which was released in 2005 in the U.K. and early 2006 in the United States. That album yielded the group's biggest hit, "Tears Don't Fall."
“We are super excited to announce we are coming back to the USA in 2025 with our friends Trivium, to bring you the Poisoned Ascendancy Tour. We're going to be celebrating 20 years of our debut album The Poison and Trivium's Ascendancy. It’s the metal tour of 2025, so don’t miss out," Bullet For My Valentine comment.
Trivium add, “This is a celebration for the old fans that were there at 9AM at Ozzfest to catch a couple songs from a band in Iron Maiden shirts. It’s for the new fans that have been listening to the deep cuts but never caught them on a recent tour. And lastly, it’s for both BFMV and us to take a moment to reflect on how amazing these 20 years have been, how fast they’ve gone, and how important these albums are for the both of our bands. Having August Burns Red, Bleed From Within and Sylosis joining us only makes this more special. We can’t wait to play Ascendancy for you!”
