Killswitch Engage To Play CBGB Festival

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Roadrunner Records) Killswitch Engage will be playing a special show at Santos Party House in New York this Saturday, October 12, as part of the CBGB Festival, with support from Eye Ra Haze . Tickets go on sale Tuesday, October 8 at 10 AM, and will be available via Ticketweb , for $25. Doors open at 6 PM.

"I am excited to be a part of the CBGB fest," says frontman Jesse Leach . "The music that came out of the early punk and hardcore scene changed my life and CBGBs was a big part of that scene. Playing a smaller intimate venue like Santos Party House gives us a chance to change stuff up and give fans a different KsE show with a diversified set list. Saturday will be a night to remember!" Additionally, proceeds from the show will be donated to The FC Foundation , an organization whose mission is to fight cancer by raising awareness and to educate about early cancer detection, ultimately putting an end to late-stage cancer diagnoses.

Killswitch Engage will be back in NYC on October 25, when they play at Roseland as part of their tour with Lamb of God , Testament and Huntress .
