Breaking Benjamin are heading back out early next year, and the closest stop for New England fans is Sunday, February 28, 2027, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The band announced the 16-date winter run on November 4, with Starset as special guest and P.O.D. and Filter also on the bill, according to the band’s press release. The tour is produced by Live Nation.
Tickets went on sale to the general public on Friday, November 6, after a round of Citi, Spotify and band presales, per the release. They’re available through the band’s website.
The tour is a short winter swing. It kicks off February 16 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and wraps March 12 in Atlantic City, N.J., the one date Filter will sit out, per the release. Uncasville falls right in the middle. After that, the closest stops are Syracuse on March 2 and Albany on March 3.
It’s a strong lineup if you came up on 2000s rock radio. P.O.D. and Filter both had big hits in that era, and Starset has opened for Breaking Benjamin before. Starset was on the band’s 2022 tour with Seether and Lacey Sturm (Loudwire) and again on its summer/fall 2026 North American run with Chevelle (Blabbermouth).
“Something Wicked” and an Album That’s Still on the Way
The band will be touring on the back of “Something Wicked” which came out May 13 through BMG (Wikipedia). It reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in early August (Blabbermouth), giving the band its ninth No. 1. The release says it has picked up nearly 15 million streams so far. You can watch the lyric video on YouTube.
Frontman Benjamin Burnley called the song “a quick look into our influences both musically and thematically” (Blabbermouth). The band debuted it live at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach in May.
The release calls “Something Wicked” a preview of the band’s “forthcoming full-length album,” but there’s still no title or release date. Guitarist Jasen Rauch said back in June that the record was finished (Blabbermouth). If it arrives before February, the Mohegan Sun crowd could hear more than a song or two from it. If it doesn’t, Breaking Benjamin fans are used to waiting. The last album, Ember, came out in 2018 and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, per the release. The band’s next new music after that was “Awaken” in October 2024, its first single in five years.
A New Face Behind the Kit
Fans who last saw the band a couple of years ago will notice a change at the drums. Longtime drummer Shaun Foist stepped away from touring in August 2025 to deal with Hashimoto’s disease (Loudwire). Asking Alexandria’s James Cassells filled in on tour for a while and played on “Something Wicked.” Brian Medeiros, formerly of Red and Otherwise, played his first show with the band at Welcome to Rockville this past May (Blabbermouth).
The press release lists the band’s core lineup as Burnley on vocals, Rauch on guitar, Keith Wallen on guitar and backing vocals, and Aaron Bruch on bass and backing vocals. It doesn’t name a drummer.
