Nekrogoblikon will return to Australia and New Zealand in March 2027 for their first headline tour here, with Rumahoy and Gosika joining the Australian shows.
Celebrating 20 years of the band, the seven date run opens at Perth’s Amplifier Bar on March 9th, then heads through Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Brisbane before finishing at Auckland’s Galatos on March 18th.
At the front are John Goblikon and Infant Annihilator’s Dickie Allen, a vocal pairing that gives the band room to swing between melodic hooks and death metal growls. The singing goblin might grab the attention first, but the music is just as restless, mixing heavy riffs with rock melodies and electronic flourishes.
Their partnership features on this year’s The Boiling Sea EP, following last years singles ‘Show Me Your Goblin’ and ‘Fiend’. The release also includes ‘Secret Elephant’, featuring Reel Big Fish, taking the band’s appetite for unlikely combinations into ska territory.

Rumahoy And Gosika Join Australian Shows
The Australian support bill keeps that sense of mischief intact. Led by masked frontman Captain Yarrface, Rumahoy bring pirate metal to the lineup, while Gosika lean into technical death metal, old-school grooves and slam.
Gosika’s introduction in the tour announcement makes a point of their refusal to take themselves too seriously, an approach that should sit comfortably alongside the goblin and pirate theatrics further up the bill.
Rumahoy and Gosika will appear at all six Australian shows, but neither will travel to Auckland for the final date. Support for that show has not been announced.
Tickets go on sale on Thursday, November 5th at 9am AEDT. Australian bookings are split between Oztix and Moshtix, with Auckland tickets available through Galatos.
