Breaking Benjamin announce a massive US headline tour this fall, kicking off September 2 in Camden, New Jersey and wrapping in Bristow, Virginia in late October. The band will be joined throughout the run by Chevelle, Starset, and Kami Kehoe. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 20 at 10am local time, with a Citi presale starting Wednesday, February 18 and additional presales running throughout the week. “We are excited to hit the road again this fall with our friends Chevelle, Starset, and Kami Kehoe,” the band says. “We look forward to seeing familiar faces as well as some new ones. Hope to see you out there.”
The tour follows the release of “Awaken,” the band’s first new single in five years, which shot to number one on the Rock Digital Songs chart upon release and landed in the Top 20 on multiple additional Billboard charts including Hot Hard Rock Songs, Digital Song Sales, Hot Alternative Songs, and Hard Rock Songs. The track has since surpassed 117 million streams globally, with a new album also teased alongside the single.
Breaking Benjamin, comprising Benjamin Burnley, Aaron Bruch, Keith Wallen, Jasen Rauch, and James Cassells, have been a fixture at the top of the rock charts since their 2002 debut ‘Saturate.’ Ten number one singles, 8.5 billion combined streams, and four Top 5 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 (including ‘Dark Before Dawn’ at number one in 2015) tell the story of one of hard rock’s most consistent and devoted-to forces. ‘Ember’ debuted at number three on the Billboard Top 200 and spun off two number one Active Rock Radio hits with “Red Cold River” and “Torn in Two.” The fall tour is shaping up to be one of the season’s biggest rock outings.
