Breaking Benjamin
(NEWARK, NJ) -- Multi-platinum rock bands Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace are joining forces for a 2025 co-headline tour across the U.S., featuring special guest Return To Dust, which includes a stop at Prudential Center in Newark on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. Breaking Benjamin will close each night of the tour.
Known for their explosive live shows and chart-topping hits, both bands have defined the sound of 21st-century hard rock. Breaking Benjamin has amassed an impressive string of mainstream rock radio hits and a devoted fanbase while Three Days Grace, with 19 #1 songs at rock radio, continue to build on their legacy as one of rock’s most successful rock bands with over a billion streams globally.
Upon releasing their first single in five years, hard rock giants Breaking Benjamin’s single "Awaken" quickly shot to #1 on the Rock Digital Songs charts and landed in the Top 20 on multiple additional Billboard charts including Hot Hard Rock Songs, Digital Song Sales, Hot Alternative Songs and Hard Rock Songs. The single has also since surpassed 50M streams globally.
The co-headlining tour follows the recent announcement of Adam Gontier’s official homecoming to Three Days Grace, who recently returned to the stage with Matt Walst amid their first live performances as co-vocalists, the pure magic in the arenas was so palpable and only reinforce this next era of Three Days Grace as seemingly the best one yet. Their recent single "Mayday" skyrocketed to #1 on the Mediabase active rock charts, remaining there for six weeks. Three Days Grace fans are eagerly anticipating their forthcoming full-length album, which is near completion and will be released later this year.
Tickets are available for purchase online. Doors are at 6:00pm, showtime is 7:00pm. Prudential Center is located at 25 Lafayette Street in Newark, New Jersey.
Return To Dust embodies the sound of shedding the weight of the past while embracing the promise of tomorrow. The Los Angeles-based quartet—Matty Bielawski [guitar, vocals], Graham Stanush [bass, vocals], Sebastian Gonzalez [guitar], and London Hudson [drums]— brings a fresh perspective to alternative rock. Their music fuses powerful harmonies, fuzz-laden riffs, and seismic grooves, fueled by the raw energy of four Gen Z friends jamming in a garage. What may seem like a traditional approach on paper feels like an act of rebellion today, rippling towards a real turn of the tide.
