Stay Gold All Stars: Ashes of the Wake
- August 23
- Stay Gold All Stars fronted by Jordan Dunbar
Lamb of God’s studio album Ashes of the Wake is a metal staple, and has stood the test of time since its early 2000s release. Peaking at 27 on the Billboard 200 is no mean feat for any album, let alone a metal album, meaning Ashes of the Wake’s praises will be rightly-sung in full.
Stay Gold has their All Stars – Jordan Dunbar and Darcy Carroll from Starve, Josh Clinch from The Gloom in the Corner and Earth Caller, Callum Grange from Blight and Sweet Temper, and general all-star Maddie Wheeler taking the stage on August 23 to celebrate 20 years of the album. Supporting will be Identity Error and Blight, you can grab some tickets here.

Feed Her To The Sharks

Okay so we know this one technically isn’t in August, but we HAD to include it. An 8 year-long hiatus has come to an end, and Feed Her To The Sharks are ready to blow the roof off of Stay Gold. Their uncompromising brand of metalcore will combine perfectly with the punchy support of Brisbane-based Wildheart and the stylishly-punk Play Drive. After a seeimingly-unmatchable August, Stay Gold’s Spring plans seem just as good. Grab some tickets, and we’ll see you there!
