Avenged Sevenfold

Avenged Sevenfold have sold millions of albums worldwide, earned 2 consecutive No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart (2010’s Nightmare and 2013’s Hail To The King), have over a billion-plus video views and Spotify streams, as well as multiple No. 1 singles on rock radio.

The band (comprising of M. Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance, Johnny Christ and Brooks Wackerman) are equally known for their spectacular live shows, selling out arenas and headlining the world’s most prestigious festivals as well as always being at the forefront of rapidly changing technology, cultural mile markers, and new ways for communities to engage. The band has been touring the world in support of their latest 2023 album, Life is But a Dream… and look forward to their return to Australia.

SUPPORT

Coheed and Cambria

Ten albums in, something changed for Coheed and Cambria. Coheed – which includes Claudio Sanchez (vocals, guitar), Travis Stever (lead guitar), Josh Eppard (drums), and Zach Cooper (bass) – emerged in the early 2000s wedged between an emo renaissance and a metal revival.

While their peers broke hearts and banged heads, they crafted Game of Thrones-level fantasies around their Amory Wars storyline, which unfurls across 78 planets known as Heaven’s Fence. Eight of the band’s albums thus far (plus a small galaxy of comics and novels) live in this space and so does The Father of Make Believe.

SUPPORT

Thornhill

Melbourne’s genre-defying heavyweights Thornhill return in 2025 with their most ambitious and unflinching chapter to date. The band’s third studio album, BODIES, follows 2022’s ARIA-nominated Heroine and marks a definitive leap forward.

In every measurable sense –streaming numbers, ticket sales, global attention – BODIES sees Thornhill scaling new heights, cementing their status as one of Australia’s most vital heavy exports and positioning them alongside the genre’s global leaders. Across 11 tracks, the band lean into volatility and freedom, delivering a rollercoaster of crushing lows, soaring highs, and raw emotional weight. The result is a visceral, electrifying body of work that captures Thornhill fully in flight.
