Five Finger Death Punch and Breaking Benjamin have announced that they’re extending their North American tour.

Both bands are currently on the road together in support of 5FDP’s latest album And Justice For None and Breaking Benjamin’s Ember, but due to overwhelming demand, they’ve decided to extend the run throughout November and December.

They’ll be joined by In Flames, Bad Wolves and From Ashes To New on selected dates.

Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory says: “We have an extremely loyal travel-to-the-end-of-the-world diehard fanbase, so our shows are always packed and a blast. 

“With that said, this current run turned out to be the most-attended, most-successful tour we have done to date. Those cities we couldn’t fit into this summer run, worry not – we heard you all! 

“We’re extending this tour all the way through the fall, so we will see you soon.”

Breaking Benjamin vocalist Benjamin Burnley adds: “We’ve been having a blast on this summer tour with Five Finger Death Punch. The reactions to this tour from both of our fanbases have been huge, so it only made sense to keep the fun going this fall. 

“We’re happy to have a chance to play more songs from Ember while reminding the world that rock’s not dead. See you there!”

Tickets for the 20 new shows will go on general sale on Friday (August 3), with a portion of proceeds from sales going towards two charities.

Five Finger Death Punch have chosen C.O.P.S. (Concerns Of Police Survivors) while Breaking Benjamin will give money to Prevent Child Abuse America.
