EVERGREY RETURN TO AUSTRALIA IN 2026!

After nearly two decades, Sweden’s legendary progressive metal band EVERGREY is set to return to Australia for their first tour since 2007 (19 Years) in April/May 2026

Fans in Perth, Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane will have the opportunity to experience the band’s riveting live performances, featuring tracks from their latest album, Theories of Emptiness (2024), as well as timeless classics from their 30-year career.

A Legacy of Critical Acclaim and Innovation

Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1995, Evergrey has become one of the most respected names in progressive metal.

With a career spanning over 30 years, the band has released 14 full-length albums, including groundbreaking works like Hymns for the Broken (2014), The Storm Within (2016), The Atlantic (2019), Escape of the Phoenix (2021), and their latest release, Theories of Emptiness (2024).

Each album has contributed to Evergrey’s status as pioneers in the genre, known for their emotionally charged songwriting, intricate compositions, and complex musicianship.

Evergrey’s unique blend of melancholic melodies and progressive metal has earned them widespread critical acclaim. Metal Hammer praised Hymns for the Broken as a “melancholic masterpiece,” while Blabbermouth hailed The Atlantic as a “sonic odyssey.”

The band’s 2021 album, Escape of the Phoenix, soared to #10 on Metal Hammer’s Best Progressive Metal Albums list, further solidifying their place as both innovators and modern trailblazers.

Their latest album, Theories of Emptiness (2024), mixed by acclaimed producer Adam “Nolly” Getgood (ex-Periphery), has been called a “critical triumph.” Loudwire applauded the album’s “bold orchestration” and the stunning guest vocals from Jonas Renkse of Katatonia.

With crystal-clear production and complex arrangements, the album continues to captivate listeners and critics alike, pushing the boundaries of the progressive metal genre.
