Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist from Alexisonfire, featuring highlights from their five studio albums, including their self-titled debut Alexisonfire (2002), Watch Out (2004), Crisis (2006), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals (2009). The band’s career has been defined by a blend of powerful guitar riffs, melodic depth, and emotional intensity, propelling them from a small Ontario outfit to headlining major venues worldwide.

Adding to the tour’s appeal, Underoath will commemorate the 20th anniversary of their influential 2004 album They’re Only Chasing Safety, performing it in full along with an encore set. Known for their unique blend of vulnerability, power, and immersive soundscapes, Underoath’s performances are hailed for their energy and emotional resonance.

US punk outfit Gel, recognised for shaping the current hardcore scene, will join the lineup as special guests. Gel’s recent releases, including their Persona EP, have been praised for their raw intensity and innovation within the hardcore genre.
