Parkway Drive are heading back to where it all began.
Byron Bay heavyweights Parkway Drive have announced Killing Horizons, a special run of intimate Australian shows that will see the band revisit two of the most important records in their catalogue: 2005’s Killing With A Smile and 2007’s Horizons.
Rather than squeezing both into one marathon set, Parkway are splitting the experience across two nights in every city, night one will focus on Killing With A Smile performed in full, while night two belongs entirely to Horizons. Each show will also feature a selection of career spanning favourites.

Years in the making
It’s the kind of tour that’s been talked about for years for long time fans, frontman Winston McCall said revisiting early material during the band’s recent touring cycle sparked the idea:
“this idea kicked off when we started working on the KWAS [Killing With A Smile] medley for our last tour. Revisiting Killing With A Smile with a fresh perspective lit a spark that remained after we finished up, so we figured rather than let the spark die, let’s take it and create something special.”
He continued:
“For all the people who have waited to hear these songs live again, for all the people that never got the chance to see these two albums on stage, for ourselves reconnecting with the core energy at the heart of this band, this tour is for all of us.”
And for anyone wondering how deep the cuts are going:
“Some of these songs haven’t been played live in over a decade, some have never been played at all. You wanted it, now you got it, so let’s make this moment worth the wait.”
After celebrating their 20th anniversary with sold out arena dates and pushing boundaries with their orchestral performance at the Sydney Opera House last year, Parkway are now scaling things back, but only in venue size.
If anything, Killing Horizons feels designed to recreate the sweat, chaos and connection that built Parkway Drive into one of Australia’s most successful heavy exports.
