One of heavy music’s most dominant modern acts
After spending more than 15 years evolving beyond the traditional limits of deathcore, Lorna Shore have become one of heavy music’s most dominant modern acts, their rise exploded globally following 2021’s …And I Return To Nothingness EP and the viral impact of vocalist Will Ramos, whose brutal vocal range helped launch the band into mainstream metal conversation.
The group’s latest album, I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, has only further cemented their status as arena level heavy hitters, combining cinematic orchestration with relentless breakdowns and emotional intensity.
Australian fans already know the chaos Lorna Shore bring live, their debut headline tour in early 2025 sold out completely before the band returned later that year for appearances at Good Things Festival, reviews from recent performances described their sets as “face-ripping sonic armageddon” and praised the band’s mix of technical brutality and raw emotion (per press release).
Meanwhile, Whitechapel continue celebrating nearly two decades as one of deathcore’s foundational acts, while The Acacia Strain arrive armed with their crushing 2025 album You Are Safe From God Here and a reputation for absolutely devastating live shows.
Tickets are expected to move quickly, with multiple pre sales launching ahead of the general public onsale beginning Wednesday, June 3rd.
