The Smith Street Band have announced support acts for their upcoming lap of the country with TheMenzingers and Perth’s Grim Fandango. Freak Wave will support on their sold out Corner Hotel show and Regrets will jump aboard the fast selling follow up gig at the Corner on March 16.
If you want all the live music without having to endure a festival then once again Soundwave Festival is catering for you, you old bastard. You can see one of the UK’s best rock acts Biffy Clyro take on The Corner Hotel on February 26.
Eagles Of Death Metal will be headlining one AMAZING lineup with Rocket From The Crypt and Mutemath at the Hi-Fi on February 24.
Davey Havok and AFI will bring Crosses along for their sideshows at The Prince Of Wales in St Kilda. AFI AT THE PRINCE OF WALES YOU GUISE!!! BUY NOW!
Old school fans can see Alice In Chains with Down and Walking Papers over at The Palace on February 27. Festival Hall is going to host Avenged Sevenfold and Five Finger Death Punch on February 27.
If you never got over the days when Goldfinger reigned supreme you can go celebrate Less Than Jake’s substantial ska catalogue at The Hi-Fi when they play with Bowling For Soup and the new and improved Zebrahead.
Fans of the Forum will be delighted to see Jimmy Eat World tear the sky up with Panic! At The Disco (sightly odd choice) and Alkaline Trio on February 25.
D.R.I are hoping to restore the reputation of old school underground punk rock legends after Black Flag disappointed everyone on the last Hits and Pits tour. The Dirty Rotten Imbeciles have been touring and recording solidly throughout the years and now they’re coming to Australia to play three dates down the East Coast. See them at The Hi-Fi on May 3. Tickets will be available ‘soon’.
Mastodon, Baroness and Gojira are joining forces for a huge show at Melbourne’s Forum on February 25, while Megadeth, Volbeat and Newstead will fill the Forum on February 27.
Meanwhile, Soundwave Festival suffered a rather brutal loss to the line-up when Stone Temple Pilots pulled out of the festival. They insist the recording of their album went over time so they won’t be able to play their scheduled sets alongside Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington. Thankfully The Living End have stepped up to fill their shoes. No one was really sure what was next for TLE after their huge run of album shows last year. It seemed like the band might retire, but clearly headlining Soundwave is the better option.
After the last tour was cancelled at the last minute, Monster Magnet have arranged a return visit to the country in April. These legends will play the newly renamed 170 Russell (formerly Billboard The Venue) on April 6. Tickets are on sale now.
Iwrestledabearonce return for yet another Australian tour. This time completing a bunch of club shows with Caulfield. You can see them at Bang on March 29, or if you’re not ‘of age’ go check them out on March 30 at OLP.
