The teaser video showcases Parkway Drive performing across Australian venues and festival stages. Additionally, footage includes performances from Good Things and Knotfest Australia stages. The clip concludes with “COMING SOON” text overlaying the band’s energetic performances.
Parkway Drive curated Park Waves as a mini-festival experience in Dresden. The German debut featured the band as headliners alongside international acts Dying Fetus, Fit For A King, and Erra. Moreover, fellow Australian bands Thy Art Is Murder and Alpha Wolf completed the lineup.
The festival announcement arrives during a particularly busy period for Parkway Drive. Currently, the band co-headlines the Summer Of Loud festival tour across the United States. Subsequently, they continue their 20th anniversary celebrations with European tour dates.
Parkway Drive’s recent Sydney Opera House performance marked a significant milestone for the metalcore genre. The band performed with a full symphonic orchestra, breaking new ground for heavy music in Australia’s most prestigious venue. They made history as the first metalcore band to headline the Sydney Opera House with a symphonic orchestra.
The band’s decision to bring Park Waves to Australia reflects their commitment to the local heavy music scene. Through their own festival, Parkway Drive can showcase both international and domestic talent.
Destroy All Lines’ involvement suggests the festival will receive professional tour promotion across Australia.
Fans can register for updates on the Park Waves website to receive first access to announcements. Social media pages for the festival also provide regular updates on lineup and ticketing information.
The German Park Waves debut demonstrated Parkway Drive’s ability to curate diverse metalcore lineups. Their selection of both established and emerging acts created a festival atmosphere that celebrated the genre’s evolution.
Australian metalcore enthusiasts can expect a similar approach for the local Park Waves iteration. The band’s deep connections within the scene position them perfectly to showcase the best of both international and local talent.
