“We are so excited to headline Australia for the first time in 7 years and return back to New Zealand after a decade! We are bringing two of the best up and coming acts in metalcore today to make this a can’t miss show. This tour will also be the first place in the world where we do a tour celebrating the release of our brand new record Season of Surrender. We hope to see you all soon!”
A new record, same uncompromising weight
The timing isn’t accidental, the tour doubles as a global launchpad for their tenth studio album Season Of Surrender, due out June 5th via Fearless Records.
Two decades deep, August Burns Red aren’t coasting on legacy, between Billboard chart runs, over 600 million streams, and multiple GRAMMY nominations, they’ve built a reputation on consistency, their last Australian run in 2023 alongside Polaris proved they haven’t lost a step either, delivering sets that felt dialled in but still volatile.
A stacked support bill worth showing up early for
Melbourne’s Bloom continue their steady climb, backing their 2025 record The Light We Chase with a live show that leans into emotion without losing its bite, they’ve already proven they can hold their own on bigger stages, and this run feels like the next step.
Meanwhile, Texas outfit I Promised The World make their Australian debut, born from grief and driven by catharsis, their blend of screamo, Midwest emo and post-hardcore hits with a rawness that hasn’t been sanded down yet.
If their last visit was anything to go by, these rooms won’t stay quiet for long, so get your tickets quick.
