Following their reunion at Blue Ridge Rockfest, New Jersey metalcore group God Forbid will be playing two special shows in the Northeast.

Announced today, God Forbid will have a homestate performance inside Starland Ballroom on January 6. The next day (January 7), the band will head to The Palladium in Worchester. For both shows, the band will be joined by Bleeding Through.

The band said this about these performances:

“When it comes to good news when it rains it pours. Despite doing an incredible reunion show at Blue Ridge Rockfest a couple months back, we knew it wouldn't be a proper God Forbid reunion without performing a show in our home area of New Jersey. Those are the fans that have been the loudest and most passionate since the beginning, so it warms our hearts to be able to give back. The Massachusetts metal scene is one of the first places to embrace what God Forbid does so it's fitting to make an appearance in New England where the metal is in their blood.

And to have the legendary Bleeding Through as a part of this makes these performances that much more special.

This has been a decade in the making. Make sure you are there to witness history.”

Tickets for both shows will go on sale to the general public this Saturday (November 5) at 10 a.m. EST. More bands for each show will be announced soon.

God Forbid disbanded in 2013 following the touring cycle of their 2012 studio album Equilibrium. The act have toured the world with bands such as Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, and Opeth. Bleeding Through’s last studio album was 2018’s Love Will Kill All.
