With the number of international artists continually hitting Aussie shores for a tours, it can be a little overwhelming to keep up with just who and when which musicians are making their way to our great land girt by sea, that’s why each week we compile a list of all the touring acts who have announced that they are set to tour Australia in the not too distant future.
Pallbearer
With just two albums under their belt, Pallbearer have inserted themselves at the forefront of the doom metal renaissance.
The Little Rock, Arkansas four-piece haven’t done so by aping their predecessors with Iommic worship and down-tuned guitars but by playing against the grain, composing 10-minute epics that contort and evolve with every movement, revealing rich harmonies and complex melodies amongst the dread.
The quartet are hitting Aussie shores for a very special performance at the ever-cool Dark MOFO Festival in Tasmania, and while they’re here, they’re taking off around the country, blowing minds with their explosive sound each pitstop along the way.

June 17 – Melbourne – Ding Dong Lounge
June 18 – Hobart – Dark Mofo Festival
June 19 – Melbourne – Northcote Social Club
June 20 – Sydney – Hermann’s Bar

Having dropped their sixth studio record Isolate and Medicate just last year, the band are itching to get back to the Australian stage, and will be performing at each major city this June/July.
Bassist Dale Stewart commented on both the latest record and performing it live, “The studio is fun, it has some really cool elements to it when you see your songs come together but the real fun is getting out there and playing the songs live. Seeing the response right in front of your eyes, in real-time, to your music is really cool.”
