Two hard-rock alt-metal bands are hitting the road this fall on an arena tour — and Utah is on the itinerary.

Shinedown and Breaking Benjamin will co-headline a tour that plays Friday, Oct. 30, at the Maverik Center, 3200 S. Decker Lake Dr., West Valley City.

Shinedown hails from Jacksonville, Fla., and has released four albums, with two of them — "Leave a Whisper" (2003) and "The Sound of Madness" (2008) — going platinum. The band's fifth studio album, "Threat to Survival," hits stores on Sept. 18, and has yielded the hit single "Cut the Cord."

Breaking Benjamin, from Wilkes-Barre, Pa., has released the platinum-selling albums "We Are Not Alone" (2004) and "Phobia" (2006). After a three-year hiatus, frontman Benjamin Burnley restarted the band with a new line-up in 2014, and released the album "Dark Before Dawn" this June.

Alt-metal band Nothing More is the opening act.

Tickets for the Maverik Center show go on sale Friday at 10 a.m., via TicketMaster.
