Music<p style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-GB">American black-metal trailblazers </span><span lang="EN-GB">Deafheaven</span><span lang="EN-GB"> have announced their biggest Australian tour to date. The tour will see them headline some of the country’s most prominent venues across Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane, joined by special guests </span><span lang="EN-GB">Nothing </span><span lang="EN-GB">and </span><span lang="EN-GB">SPY.</span> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-GB">The tour follows the release of their 2025 album </span><span lang="EN-GB">Lonely People With Power</span><span lang="EN-GB">.</span><span lang="EN-GB"> Their sixth album and first for </span><span lang="EN-GB">Roadrunner Records </span><span lang="EN-GB">arrived as both a culmination and a reckoning - an album that embraces the band’s full identity after years of evolution. The record captures Deafheaven’s innate ability to mix and merge melody with brutality, and pain with poetry. Through reflections on masculinity, inherited trauma, family, and self-perception, the album grapples with the idea that while we can’t fully escape our past or our nature, we can choose how we move forward. Ultimately, </span><span lang="EN-GB">Lonely People with Power</span><span lang="EN-GB"> stands as one of Deafheaven’s most expansive and human statements - an album about confronting isolation while searching for connection, growth, and the possibility of redefining one’s destiny.</span> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-GB">Formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2010, Deafheaven have spent the past decade and a half pushing at the emotional and sonic boundaries of modern metal. From their debut, </span><span lang="EN-GB">Roads to</span><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><span lang="EN-GB">Judah,</span><span lang="EN-GB"> to the genre-defining breakthrough, </span><span lang="EN-GB">Sunbather,</span><span lang="EN-GB"> and s<wbr>ubsequent records like </span><span lang="EN-GB">New</span><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><span lang="EN-GB">Bermuda</span><span lang="EN-GB">,</span><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><span lang="EN-GB">Ordinary Corrupt Human Love</span><span lang="EN-GB">,</span><span lang="EN-GB"> and </span><span lang="EN-GB">Infinite Granite</span><span lang="EN-GB">,</span><span lang="EN-GB"> Deafheaven have continually redefined the boundaries of heavy music while confronting themes of alienation, addiction, family history, and self-perseverance.</span> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-GB">They’ll be joined by American shoegaze renegades </span><span lang="EN-GB">Nothing</span><span lang="EN-GB">, who have just released </span><span lang="EN-GB">A Short History of Decay</span><span lang="EN-GB">, a “fresh and exciting” (Pitchfork) new record from the genre’s pioneers. Nothing’s fifth solo album and first for Run For Cover Records, widens that aperture even further, providing the most hi-def rendering of Nothing to date. </span> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-GB">Openers SPY were formed in Oakland and have carved out their own niche in the modern hardcore landscape. They recorded their most recent EP, </span><span lang="EN-GB">Seen Enough</span><span lang="EN-GB">, in</span><span lang="EN-GB"> 2025</span><span lang="EN-GB"> and have fostered a reputation for a ferocious live show. </span> </p><p align="center">______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________</p><p align="center"><strong>TICKET DETAILS</strong></p><p align="center">Do not attend if you are feeling unwell.</p><p align="center">Photo ID is essential, acceptable ID is a current and valid Australian Photo Drivers Licence, State Approved ‘Proof of Age’ card or Passport.
