Sumac Australian Tour

SUMAC Announce First-Ever Australasian Tour — February 2026

Renowned US experimental metal trio SUMAC will make their long-awaited Australian debut in February 2026, bringing their boundary-pushing live show to Auckland, Wellington, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Formed by Aaron Turner (ISIS, Old Man Gloom), Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists), and Brian Cook (Russian Circles, Botch), SUMAC have carved a reputation as one of the most uncompromising and visionary acts in modern heavy music. Their sound merges colossal sludge, free-form improvisation, and avant-garde exploration — constantly shifting between structured heaviness and total sonic freedom.

The tour follows the release of SUMAC’s latest studio album, The Healer, a record celebrated for its fearless creativity and emotional depth. Known for transforming every performance into an evolving soundscape, SUMAC’s live shows are as immersive as they are intense — equal parts meditation and demolition.

Melbourne’s own Convulsing will join SUMAC on all Australian dates bringing their visceral, boundary-pushing sound to the stage as the perfect counterpart to SUMAC’s crushing intensity.
