Roll up, roll up and prepare for the most ambitious undertaking by any band in Australian touring history in 2026! In an Australian first, the circus is coming to town next February and March when 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒, the curated travelling festival from Australian metal juggernauts 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄, arrives for its Australian debut. Witness some of the biggest names in the heavy scene under the big top for this monumental and never-before-witnessed event, helmed by Australia’s very own ringmasters of chaos: 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄.
Boasting a menagerie of heavy acts set to trek across the country in 2026, spanning 11 dates next February and March, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒 will commence on Saturday, February 14th at Langley Park in Perth before trekking the country, heading to Adelaide, Geelong, Scoresby, Bendigo, Wollongong, Sydney, Maitland, Toowoomba and 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄’s own hometown Byron Bay, and closing out on Sunday, March 15th on the Sunshine Coast.
Headlined by 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄, the first ever Australian 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒 also features a dazzling lineup of artists, including 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍, 𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄, 𝐀𝐋𝐏𝐇𝐀 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅 and 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑. And adding to this Australian first, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒 will also mark the first time that 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 and 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 have ever toured Australia together in the collective history of both bands.

The ringmasters behind 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 have spent over two decades forging an astonishing reputation as one of Australia’s most successful exports, balancing their metalcore roots with everything from uncompromising ferocity through to raw melodies, traditional heavy metal and more.
Catapulting from the shores of Byron Bay into global headliner status, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 now have eight studio albums in their wake, millions of streams, multiple ARIA Music Awards and top-billing at some of the biggest festivals and stages at home and abroad, while their live show can barely be contained by the word “legendary”. Australian fans will be treated to multiple death-defying performances in 2026, both on land at the group’s brand new 11-date curated festival 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒 in February and March, as well as on the high seas at the 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 cruise next October.
Entirely selling out Australia’s first ever dedicated heavy metal floating festival, 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃, in just seven minutes, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 also recently made history earlier this year with their sold-out black-tie performance at the Sydney Opera House, with Rolling Stone Australia enthusing “…this show at the Concert Hall served a potent reminder that they are one of Australia’s best bands, period”. Selling out their monolithic Sydney Opera House extravaganza in just three minutes, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄’s explosive trajectory from teenage metal underdogs to global success story continues to show zero signs of slowing down. A band who have redefined the musical landscape for over 20 years, shared stages with multiple titans of the scene, including Metallica, Lamb of God, Soulfly and Killswitch Engage, and proudly fly the flag for Australian heavy music on a mainstream level, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 are a heavy act like no other; and their curated festival 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒 is set to take this legacy to even greater heights.
On the flying trapeze, we have 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍; a band who have become synonymous with chart and worldwide success since emerging with their 2008 debut album Severed Ties, going on to tick off over a billion streams worldwide, four #1 records, multiple Gold and Platinum certifications in Australia, and a string of Top 30-charting albums on Billboard. Beginning a new era in 2025 with clean vocalist and bassist Jonny Reeves via the single All That I Remember, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 continue their powerhouse legacy that has also seen them in demand at the likes of Download UK, Reading and Leeds, Vans Warped Tour and more, as well as countless sold out headline runs, and supports alongside everyone from A Day To Remember through to Sum 41, PVRIS, Beartooth, Silverstein and more.
Next, marvel at the contortionists, Sydney metalcore icons 𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄 who have become fixtures in the heavy music scene across the globe, driven by fearless evolution and innovation. A chart-topping, award-winning act, 𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄 have released six acclaimed albums over the years, from their 2011 debut full-length Discoveries through to their ARIA Chart #1, 2022’s Obsidian. Renowned for blending lashings of brutality with techno, drum and bass, synths and complex hues, 𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄 have won three consecutive ARIA Awards for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album, toured the with the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Sleep Token and Stray From The Path, and also become in-demand in a festival setting, with the group also set to perform as part of the maiden voyage for 2026’s stacked Hellbound Cruise.
Taming lions are only one of the many feats wielded by Aussie metalcore behemoths 𝐀𝐋𝐏𝐇𝐀 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅 who roared into 2025 armed with their blistering new album, 2024’s Half Living Things, going on to tick off a mammoth Australian regional headline run, and perform extensively in North America as part of Summer of Loud alongside Beartooth, I Prevail, Killswitch Engage and more. While the road has been far from easy over the years, 𝐀𝐋𝐏𝐇𝐀 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅 refuse to let anything stand in their way, channeling chaotic and turbulent times into their razor-sharp sonic aesthetic. From releasing their ARIA Award-nominated sophomore album A Quiet Place To Die during the pandemic in 2020 through to securing a #2 debut on the ARIA Australian Album Charts, 𝐀𝐋𝐏𝐇𝐀 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅 continue to be ravenously in-demand on a global scale.
And walking the tightrope while brandishing loud guitars, singalong choruses and enduring success, 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑’s impact on the post hardcore scene began in 2003 via their debut album Page Avenue. Becoming one of the first of its kind to sell a million copies, Page Avenue paved the way for 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑 touring with Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance and Deftones, and ultimately kickstarted decades of success, seven studio albums, and sold out shows around the world punctuated by high octane performances. Most recently touring Australia in 2024 for a sold out tour as part of their Page Avenue 20th anniversary celebrations, 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑 are fluent in balancing hooks and heaviness, and it’s little wonder the group continue to dominate in a live setting, decades into their career.
As an all ages 16+ event, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒 is a concept never before attempted by any artist with circus performers, carnival rides, sideshow alleys and food offerings befitting one of the greatest shows on Earth – it’s a headbanger’s experience like no other that has to be seen to be believed.
Spanning 11 dates across Australia, including multiple regional locales, join 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 bringing 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒 home in 2026. Step right up, and get ready for the next wave!
