Bullet for My Valentine and Trivium Announce Co-Headlining “The Poisoned Ascendancy Tour”

Heavy metal pioneers Bullet for My Valentine and Trivium announced their 2025 co-headlining “The Poisoned Ascendancy Tour,” featuring special guests August Burns Red across all dates, Sylosis, and Bleed From Within on select dates — see routing below.

The tour is in celebration of both bands prolific albums — Bullet for My Valentine’s The Poison and Trivium’s Ascendancy, which turn 20 years old in 2025. Each will be performed in their entirety on this tour.

“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,'” says Bullet For My Valentine. “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.”

“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,” says Trivium. “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!”

Produced by Live Nation, the 26-city tour kicks off on March 30 at PNE Forum in Vancouver, BC making stops across North America in Las Vegas, Chicago, New York and more before wrapping up in Raleigh, NC at Red Hat Amphitheater on May 18.
