A true clash of the titans, renowned chart-topping European legends IN FLAMES unite with America’s preeminent multiplatinum hard rock band FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH to co-headline what promises to be the biggest and most exciting arena rock tour of Fall/Winter 2017. This marks the very first time that these two juggernauts have joined forces on the road together, and it’s a “can’t miss” moment for the genre and fans at large.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltán Báthory states:
“We are currently playing all the European festivals and are having an amazing time. As these massive crowds are singing along every word of the lyrics, it feels like Europe is truly becoming the second home of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH. We can’t wait to come back this Fall and especially with IN FLAMES which is one of my favorite bands. This will be something special to see…”
IN FLAMES singer Anders Fridén offers:
“We’ve been lucky to play for so many Jesterheads around the World this year and can’t think of a better way to end 2017 than touring Europe with FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH. We’ll see you soon Jesterheads and Knuckleheads. It’s going to be a tour to remember.”
Support on select EU dates and all UK dates of the tour comes from Of Mice & Men. The Orange County, CA-based band recently returned with two brand new songs, ‘Back To Me’ and ‘Unbreakable’.
Both FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH and IN FLAMES remain leaders of hard rock and heavy music worldwide: FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH‘s crushingly epic 2015 sixth full-length studio album “Got your Six” hit new heights for the band around the world with chart-topping debuts in the US (#1 on Top Album chart, #1 on Overall Digital Album chart, #1 on the Hard Music Album chart, #2 on the Billboard Top 200) and internationally (Australia & Canada #3, Germany & Sweden #5, UK #6 Holland #17, Belgium #29 and France #32).
