After a breakout few years and one of the biggest album cycles in alternative heavy music, Fleshwater are officially heading back to Australia.
Massachusetts outfit Fleshwater have announced a national run this November, bringing their expanding catalogue and increasingly hyped live show back to local stages following a massive twelve months of momentum.
Since launching as a side project connected to members of Vein.fm, Fleshwater have grown into one of the most exciting names operating between shoegaze, alternative rock, grunge and hardcore. What started as an experimental outlet quickly became something much bigger.

Their early breakthrough arrived through Linda Claire, introducing a sound that balanced dreamy textures with crushing heaviness and emotional pull, pulling influence from the golden era of 90s alternative while still feeling entirely current.
That rise continued with 2022 debut We’re Not Here To Be Loved, a record that pushed the band onto international festival lineups and built a loyal following well beyond underground circles.
Now they return armed with their acclaimed second album 2000: In Search Of The Endless Sky, following a huge touring cycle that has included runs alongside Deftones and The Mars Volta, plus an appearance at Coachella earlier this year.
Joining Fleshwater across the full Australian run will be Idaho hardcore unit Ingrown, whose reputation for chaotic live shows and relentless energy has made them one of the fastest rising names in US heavy music.
Opening duties land with Sydney’s Secret World, bringing their blend of hardcore intensity and rock’n’roll attitude to every city except Perth, with a stronger profile than ever and a new record behind them, these are shaping up to be Fleshwater’s biggest Australian headline shows yet.
