Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine Co-Headlining 2025 Tour
Heavy metal pioneers Bullet for My Valentine and Trivium announce 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.

About Trivium:
Trivium’s critically acclaimed tenth album, In The Court Of The Dragon, arrived in 2021. The band and album were praised by and featured in mainstream outlets like The New York Times, NPR, Forbes, Billboard, TechCrunch, and Kotaku, as well as Guitar World, Revolver, Alternative Press, and more. They released the now-canonical album, Ascendancy, in 2005. It eclipsed sales of 500,000 worldwide. It ignited a string of six consecutive Top 25 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 and five straight Top 3 debuts on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, culminating on 2017’s benchmark The Sin And The Sentence. That album elevated the group’s total stream tally past a quarter-of-a-billion. Additionally, “Betrayer” received a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Metal Performance.” Unanimous acclaim. 2020 brought What The Dead Men Say. The album was produced by Trivium and Josh Wilbur and debuted at #35 on the Billboard Top 200; at #2 on the Top Current Albums Chart, and at #3 on both the Hard Rock Albums Chart and Top Rock Albums Chart. They have performed alongside Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and many others, and graced the main stages of Download, Bloodstock, Knotfest, and beyond.
About Bullet For My Valentine:
Bullet For My Valentine has been a mainstay, not just in the metal community, but within British music as a whole since their inception. From experiencing early success with Fever and Scream Aim Fire to continuing to encapsulate audiences with Gravity and 2021’s self-titled album, the band has consistently gone from strength to strength, amassing over 3.5 million album sales to date, whilst playing sold-out shows across the globe. It’s the band’s first album, however; 2005’s The Poison, that propelled them to unimaginable heights. That year saw the Welsh metallers graduate from supporting Funeral For A Friend on their UK run in the summer, to ending the year headlining the very same venues just months later. Dropping in October 2005, The Poison hit number 21 in the UK album charts. Therefore, in 2025, Bullet will be celebrating 20 years of The Poison by partnering with fellow heavy metal contemporaries Trivium and bringing The Poisoned Ascendancy Tour to life, where both acts will perform their iconic debut albums, playing them in full for the last time to audiences worldwide.
