Killswitch Engage at The Warfield in San Francisco (6/27/2026)
This was the last show on their North America 2026 tour. Whole band looked great and brought a ton of energy. Jesse was top of his game except for time he started his between song banter with “SAN DIEGO!!!” and everyone started booing. I was laughing so hard I almost cried. Only worse city he could have gone with is “LOS ANGELES!!!” I think. Otherwise great performance on his part considering how long they’ve been on tour. I have my issues with the ownership at The Warfield, but the venue is well run, the sound is on point, and security is chill.
It was a wild night for crowd surfers. Over KSE’s set, I saw a blind dude go up with his cane, a dude with a prosthetic leg, and a mohawked kid who looked to be about 10 years old. There was a banana man in the audience and Jesse pointed him out and begged the crowd to be gentle with him. What a great night.
