Breaking Benjamin Bring A Four-Band Hard Rock Bill To Winter 2027
Breaking Benjamin are starting 2027 with a lineup built for fans who grew up on rock radio. Instead of pairing with one opener, the band has put together a four-act bill that spans several eras of the genre, with Starset as special guest and P.O.D. and Filter in support.
The format gives fans a full night of familiar songs. Breaking Benjamin’s own catalog includes “I Will Not Bow,” “The Diary of Jane” and “Breath,” and each supporting act brings its own radio history. For a winter arena run, a bill that deep makes a midweek show in February an easier sell.
Multi-band packages like this have become a steady part of the touring calendar for rock acts that broke through in the 2000s, alongside headline runs such as Nickelback’s 2027 Everything Under the Sun World Tour. Breaking Benjamin’s approach leans on depth across the lineup rather than a single opener.
Starset Carries Over From The Fall 2026 Run
Breaking Benjamin are keeping one piece of their recent touring setup in place. Starset opened for the band on the fall 2026 North American tour, which also featured Chevelle and Kami Kehoe and wrapped October 24 in Bristow, Virginia. Bringing Starset back for 2027 moves the group up to special guest status on the new run.
The pairing works on stage. Starset blends hard rock with electronic elements and science-fiction themes, and is known for songs such as “My Demons” and “Monster.” That cinematic sound sits close to the atmospheric heaviness Breaking Benjamin are pushing on their newest material, so the two sets feed into each other rather than competing.
P.O.D. And Filter Add Two Decades Of Rock Radio History
Breaking Benjamin’s support slots reach further back. San Diego’s P.O.D. brings crossover hits including “Alive” and “Youth of the Nation,” songs that crossed between rock radio and mainstream audiences in the early 2000s. Filter, formed in Cleveland, adds another layer of alternative and industrial rock history to the bill.
For fans, the lineup reads like a timeline of hard rock across the past two decades, and for the bands, it is a way to share audiences. P.O.D. and Filter get to play arenas in front of Breaking Benjamin’s crowd, while the headliner gets an early lineup that pulls in older listeners. Filter will play every date except the final show, where Starset and P.O.D. round out the bill.
The Routing Favors Midwest And Northeast Arenas
Breaking Benjamin’s 2027 schedule skips the largest coastal markets and focuses on regional arenas. After opening February 16 at Cedar Rapids’ Alliant Energy PowerHouse, the tour heads to Kalamazoo on February 18, Fort Wayne on February 19 and Evansville’s Ford Center on February 20, followed by Peoria on February 22 and Louisville on February 23.
The run then moves east, with Columbus’s Nationwide Arena on February 25 and the Bryce Jordan Center at Penn State’s University Park campus on February 26. March dates include Syracuse on March 2, Albany’s MVP Arena on March 3, Hershey’s Giant Center on March 5 and Charleston, West Virginia, on March 6, before stops in Greenville, South Carolina, on March 8 and Savannah, Georgia, on March 9.
That routing reflects where hard rock radio has stayed strong. Many of these cities are regular stops for active rock tours, and booking them in winter, when stadium and amphitheater seasons are quiet, gives the package less competition for fans.
Something Wicked Sets Up The Next Breaking Benjamin Album
Breaking Benjamin go into the tour with chart momentum. “Something Wicked,” which the band debuted at Welcome To Rockville, reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, giving the group its ninth No. 1 there. The song moves into darker territory while keeping the band’s mix of atmospheric tension and heavy instrumentation.
The single is the latest preview of a forthcoming full-length album. No title or release date has been announced, so the 2027 dates may become the first live setting for more new material, depending on when the album arrives.
