Swedish violincore pioneers Imminence will return to Australia this October for their first headline tour.
One of the most in-demand acts in modern alternative music, Imminence have spent over a decade crafting their trademark take on heavy music. The band blends classical string arrangements with ferocious Scandinavian metal, creating what fans have aptly dubbed violincore. Their unique sonic approach pushes alternative metalcore into territories that few could dream of exploring.
The Swedish maestros will kick off their Australian 2025 headline tour in Brisbane before visiting Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. This marks their first full headline tour down under, following their successful debut Australian performances at Good Things Festival last year. Their standalone sideshows sold out in record time, demonstrating the growing appetite for their distinctive sound among Australian audiences.
