Bullet For My Valentine has addressed recent discussions surrounding The Poisoned Ascendancy tour through an official statement on Instagram.
The band expressed gratitude for the ongoing tour and announced their future plans.
“As we head into the final shows of The Poisoned Ascendancy tour, we want to thank everyone who’s come out to celebrate with us. The shows have been phenomenal and we’ve loved connecting with every single one of you,” the band stated.
They continued with respect for their tourmates: “Being in this band is the most important thing to the four of us. We’re incredibly grateful to have been given the chance to look back at a pair of life-changing albums for us & Trivium, who we have nothing but respect and admiration for.”
The band reflected on their career trajectory while looking ahead to upcoming performances.
“To have a career spanning over 20+ years is an incredible achievement, and we understand all the dedication and sacrifice that comes with that. The celebration of both these albums has been a career highlight for us, there’s 5 shows left out here in the US and then we embark upon a full month of summer festivals in June which we’re really looking forward to.”
The band outlined their future plans: “With that being said, the four of us collectively feel that the time is right for us to divert our full attention towards the next chapter of Bullet For My Valentine. We can’t wait to get back in the studio later this summer and finish what we promise you is our best album to date. To go along with this, we are already starting to make plans for the 2026 & 2027 touring cycles, hitting every corner.”
Their message to fans concluded: “We are super excited to drop new music for you all. We value our fans above all else and are forever grateful for your support. We’ll be back with all of you very soon.”
The band will finish their remaining US shows. They will then proceed to their summer festival commitments in June.
This statement marks a significant moment for both bands’ histories. It celebrates a milestone achievement in their careers.
