Ice Nine Kills Announce Hell of a Summer Tour with Star-Studded Lineup and Hometown Finale
The horror-fueled metalcore titans, Ice Nine Kills, have announced their latest headlining trek, the Hell Of A Summer Tour, set to ignite stages across the U.S. this August. Produced by Live Nation, the tour promises an over-the-top spectacle of theatrical mayhem and cinematic carnage, culminating in a hometown blowout at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA — part of the band’s annual Silver Scream Con.
Kicking off August 8, the tour features a powerhouse lineup that highlights the evolving soundscape of heavy music. Support on the first leg (through August 31) comes from Dayseeker, Kim Dracula, and The Funeral Portrait. Beginning September 2, pop punk veterans MEST will join the tour, riding along until the grand finale in Florida.
The closing show on September 13 at Silver Scream Con promises an explosive sendoff, featuring Dayseeker, The Funeral Portrait, MEST, and a very special guest appearance by A Loss For Words, adding a dose of New England punk nostalgia to the chaos.
Frontman Spencer Charnas shared his excitement for the tour:
“The Hell of a Summer Tour will be a celebration of all things INK—past, present, and future.
It’s an electric bill, and having MEST on some of those shows is a particularly full-circle moment for me. As many Psychos will remember, I formed the band after seeing Goldfinger and MEST in Worcester 25 years ago.
The date is so important to me that I have it tattooed behind my ear.
The tour culminates in a sure-to-be historic performance at the DCU Center, where I experienced some of my first arena shows as a kid, including the Family Values Tour with our current tour mates, Limp Bizkit, and home of the Silver Scream Con.
The Hell of a Summer Tour’s last stop, at Silver Scream Con, will also feature some New England punk rock royalty as a very special guest.”
With a mix of nostalgia, high-energy performances, and cinematic flair, Hell of a Summer is set to be one of the most memorable tours of the year for heavy music fans. Tickets and VIP packages are available now — grab yours while you can! https://www.iceninekills.com/tour
