Kentucky metalcore luminaries Knocked Loose and Arizona death metal forerunners Gatecreeper team up to take back the road on a month-long tour across the United States as summer turns to fall this year.

It's the first extensive stateside trek for both bands since the COVID-19 pandemic curbed most large concerts and tours starting in 2020. Supporting bands Magnitude and Kharma will join the two headliners on the run that begins on Sept. 3 in Chicago and covers the country until it comes to a close in Santa Cruz, Calif., on Oct. 8. Stops include Knocked Loose's and Gatecreeper's appearances at Slipknot's Knotfest Iowa.

See all the dates down toward the bottom of this post.

"First tour back," Knocked Loose said on Twitter on Wednesday (June 16). "Small rooms. No barricades. Friends. Two nights in certain cities."

Knocked Loose are technically still on the backstretch promoting 2019's A Different Shade of Blue, the Oldham County act's second studio album following their breakthrough 2016 debut, Laugh Tracks. The timeline of Gatecreeper's discography so far is similar — the Southwestern headbangers released their sophomore effort, Deserted, in 2019, following a heralded 2016 first album called Sonoran Depravation.

Tickets for the tour go on sale from this Friday (June 18) at 10AM local time. Grab them and get more info at knockedloosehc.com.
