DOORS 7:30PM

American black-metal trailblazers Deafheaven have announced their biggest Australian tour to date. The tour will see them headline some of the country’s most prominent venues across Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane, joined by special guests Nothing and SPY. 

The tour follows the release of their 2025 album Lonely People With Power. Their sixth album and first for Roadrunner Records arrived as both a culmination and a reckoning - an album that embraces the band’s full identity after years of evolution. The record captures Deafheaven’s innate ability to mix and merge melody with brutality, and pain with poetry.  Through reflections on masculinity, inherited trauma, family, and self-perception, the album grapples with the idea that while we can’t fully escape our past or our nature, we can choose how we move forward. Ultimately, Lonely People with Power stands as one of Deafheaven’s most expansive and human statements - an album about confronting isolation while searching for connection, growth, and the possibility of redefining one’s destiny. 

Formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2010, Deafheaven have spent the past decade and a half pushing at the emotional and sonic boundaries of modern metal. From their debut, Roads to Judah, to the genre-defining breakthrough, Sunbather, and subsequent records like New Bermuda, Ordinary Corrupt Human Love, and Infinite Granite, Deafheaven have continually redefined the boundaries of heavy music while confronting themes of alienation, addiction, family history, and self-perseverance. 

They’ll be joined by American shoegaze renegades Nothing, who have just released A Short History of Decay, a “fresh and exciting” (Pitchfork) new record from the genre’s pioneers. Nothing’s fifth solo album and first for Run For Cover Records, widens that aperture even further, providing the most hi-def rendering of Nothing to date.   

Openers SPY were formed in Oakland and have carved out their own niche in the modern hardcore landscape. They recorded their most recent EP, Seen Enough, in 2025 and have fostered a reputation for a ferocious live show.
