After announcing a co-headlining tour late last year, long time metal-ists Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium finally hit the road on March 30th, and the third stop in the 32 date jaunt pulled into San Francisco recently, playing to a packed to the rafters Masonic Auditorium. The rabid fans of both bands spent the entire evening headbanging away.

On the tour, both bands will play one of their classic albums in its entirety, with Bullet for My Valentine playing The Poison, while Trivium are playing Ascendancy. Both albums were released two decades ago, and fans will be hearing some deep cuts by both bands.

“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. 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,” Bullet For My Valentine commented.

Trivium added, “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. 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 both of our bands.”
