Ice Nine Kills Announce ‘Silver Scream-A-Thon 2025’ Tour: A Double Dose of Horror and Music
Dec
Are you ready for a hauntingly unforgettable experience? Ice Nine Kills, the masters of horror-inspired metalcore, have just announced a special U.S. headline tour, aptly titled the Silver Scream-A-Thon 2025. This isn’t just another tour—it’s a two-night theatrical event that fans won’t want to miss.
Combining the bone-chilling energy of their chart-topping albums The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood, this unique tour will take place in select cities across the United States. Each night offers a distinct experience, packed with full album performances, deep cuts, and fan-favorite singalongs.
Frontman Spencer Charnas perfectly sums up the essence of this tour:
“The Silver Scream-A-Thon is a devilish chance for us to spend twice as much time in some of our favorite haunts, presenting a grindhouse-style double feature filled with deep cuts and our signature singalongs alike. In each city, Night One celebrates the fearsome full-length that began this era, The Silver Scream. Night Two slashes through The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood. Both evenings will unearth deep cuts from our band’s haunted past, with shocks and surprises galore.”
What is the Silver Scream-A-Thon?
Unlike a standard tour, the Silver Scream-A-Thon transforms each stop into an immersive horror-inspired experience. Over two nights, fans will witness full performances of Ice Nine Kills’ two critically acclaimed albums:
- Night One: A complete playthrough of The Silver Scream, the album that redefined their career with cinematic tracks inspired by iconic horror films like Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street.
- Night Two: A thrilling journey through The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood, a darker sequel filled with tracks based on movies like American Psycho and Child’s Play.
In addition to these complete album sets, expect a selection of deep cuts from the band’s discography, as well as surprises designed to keep you on the edge of your seat.
