Since their formation in the mid-1990s in the basements and DIY venues of Richmond, Virginia, LAMB OF GOD have become synonymous with the new wave of American heavy metal. Their blend of punishing riffs, relentless grooves, and visceral live energy has earned them five GRAMMY nominations and a global following that spans decades. From early classics like Laid to Rest and Redneck to the ferocious tracks on their 2026 LP Into Oblivion, LAMB OF GOD continue to push the boundaries of metal, refusing to slow their juggernaut momentum. Their 2024 Melbourne headline sideshow, praised by The Rockpit as “a playbook that every new and younger band needs to study,” is a testament to their enduring dominance on stage—and this October marks their first full Australian tour in nearly ten years.

TRIVIUM, hailing from Florida, have forged a reputation as metal’s relentless innovators. Since 1999, the band has evolved from metalcore roots into a chameleonic force, blending thrash, prog, melodic death, groove, and alternative metal into a singular, unmistakable sound. With a GRAMMY-nominated single, multiple Billboard 200 top 20 hits, and a reputation for electrifying live performances, TRIVIUM’s road-hardened expertise makes every show a masterclass in modern metal. Their 2023 Brisbane headline sideshow earned acclaim from Wall Of Sound: “Trivium are certainly at the top of their game and so very much deserve their place in the metal genre.”

Scotland’s BLEED FROM WITHIN bring two decades of precision and power to the stage. Evolving from deathcore beginnings to a distinct, groove-heavy metalcore style, the Glasgow band weaves hypnotic riffs, crushing breakdowns, and even the occasional nod to their heritage into an unrelenting live assault. With their 2025 album Zenith, they’ve solidified their place among the UK’s most respected metal acts, consistently sharing stages with legends from Slipknot to Megadeth.

This October, two of modern metal’s most formidable forces will converge for a national tour that promises to rattle arenas and stages alike. LAMB OF GOD and TRIVIUM are ready to claim the continent—be there when they do.
