Get Ready for August Burns Red Live!
August Burns Red has been one of metalcore's most reliable touring bands for over two decades, and the run keeps rolling on. The Lancaster, Pennsylvania-bred quintet of Jake Luhrs, JB Brubaker, Brent Rambler, Matt Greiner, and Dustin Davidson has been touring the Spring Horizons run with The Amity Affliction and Boundaries, with their 11th studio album Season of Surrender dropping via Fearless Records in 2026 and a fall trip to Australia and New Zealand with Bloom and I Promised The World on the books too.
Looking ahead, Christmas Burns Red -- the band's long-running annual festival in their Lancaster hometown -- returns December 3, 2026 at the Lancaster Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, with the kick-off party the night before. The event has been running for nearly two decades and has become a bucket-list stop for the band's most committed fans. 2027 routing is expected to continue around the Season of Surrender album cycle. Check the listings below for upcoming dates.
What makes an August Burns Red show worth showing up for in 2027? The musicianship. ABR has always stood out from the metalcore pack because of the technical chops on display -- JB Brubaker's constantly evolving guitar arrangements, Matt Greiner's drumming masterclass, the tight riffwork from Brent Rambler, and the way Jake Luhrs' vocal delivery can move from a guttural roar to a melodic clean within a single song. According to Wikipedia, the band's lineup has been completely stable since 2006 -- an almost unheard-of run in heavy music.
The live setlists are deep. Composure, Meridian, Empire, Internal Cannon, White Washed, Spirit Breaker, Provision, and the new Season of Surrender tracks. ABR also routinely incorporates instrumental passages, extended outros, and impressive lighting design that turns even smaller venues into immersive heavy-music experiences. According to coverage on Lambgoat, the band's recent recording sessions have been some of the most ambitious of their career.

August Burns Red: Two Decades of Lancaster Metalcore
Formed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 2003, August Burns Red spent their early years building a regional reputation through relentless touring and intense live shows. Their 2005 Solid State Records debut Thrill Seeker introduced the band's technical-metalcore sound, and the 2007 follow-up Messengers -- the first record with the now-classic lineup of Jake Luhrs, JB Brubaker, Brent Rambler, Matt Greiner, and Dustin Davidson -- broke them through nationally with tracks like Composure, Up Against the Ropes, and Truth of a Liar.
What followed has been a remarkably consistent run. Constellations (2009) introduced Meridian. Leveler (2011), Rescue & Restore (2013), Found in Far Away Places (2015), Phantom Anthem (2017), Guardians (2020), and Death Below (2023) each pushed the band's sound in different directions while keeping the technical metalcore foundation intact. The 2026 release Season of Surrender via Fearless Records is the band's 11th studio LP -- a remarkable run for any band, let alone one with a stable lineup of nearly two decades.
Outside of the studio catalog, ABR has been one of metalcore's most consistent touring acts. They have headlined the Vans Warped Tour, co-headlined runs with Killswitch Engage, Underoath, Erra, and Silverstein, and toured globally with packages spanning Europe, Australia, Asia, and Latin America. The recent Spring Horizons Tour with The Amity Affliction and Boundaries has been one of the most-talked-about metalcore packages of the year. Billboard coverage has tracked the band's consistent presence in the heavy-music charts.
The annual Christmas Burns Red festival in Lancaster has become an institution. Running since 2007, the multi-day event packs the band's hometown with ABR fans for a weekend of multiple sets, special guests, and exclusive holiday-themed performances. The 2026 edition lands December 3 at the Lancaster Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, continuing one of the most beloved fan traditions in metalcore. Metal Injection has covered the festival across its recent editions.
