With the first night of The Poisoned Ascendancy tour selling out, Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium have added a new show at the Cardiff Utilita Arena.
Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium have added a new date to next year’s colossal arena tour.
After selling out the first night of The Poisoned Ascendancy co-headline run, the two bands have added a new show at the Cardiff Utilita Arena due to demand, meaning they’ll now have a two-night stop in Wales from January 26 – 27, 2025. After that, of course, they’ll hit arenas in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and finally London, celebrating 20 years of their respective classic albums The Poison and Ascendancy.
Speaking to Kerrang! in February, Trivium’s Matt Heafy said of this upcoming arena jaunt, and making the step up into these massive venues: “I see people talking about ‘young bands’, but we’re still the same age as a lot of these bands coming out now, who’re considered younger bands, and we’ve put 20-plus years of work in each. And this tour’s going to set our bands to this level, then we can both pave the way and do our thing, and maybe we’ll come back in 30 or 40 years together to do it again and make it bigger and bigger.”
“The best is yet to come from both bands, creatively and as live musicians,” agreed Bullet’s Matt Tuck. “We’re by no means over any hill (laughs). Thankfully our careers started when we were very young, and 20 years later we’re still fucking ready to do this!”
