All Nereids (and Australians) Beware, this November Michigan post-hardcore icons **CHIODOS** are set to return to Australian stages for the first time in over a decade, bringing their *All's Well That Ends Well *20th Anniversary Tour down under, joined by special guests **RAIN CITY DRIVE** (USA) and **THE BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT**.

Forming in 2001, **CHIODOS** has remained more than a single moment or scene for decades. Co-founded by frontman Craig Owens, with his raw vocals and confessional fire turning chaos into catharsis, **CHIODOS** would ultimately become a movement buoyed by an adventurous and rule-breaking spirit; a spirit that instantly put them on the map via their 2005 debut album *All's Well That Ends Well*.

Layered with moments of intensity and vulnerability, 2005's *All's Well That Ends Well* established both the disparate and formidable vocal range of Owens while showcasing a mix of frenetic breakdowns, madcap synths, soaring melodies, caustic shrieks and haunting pianos. Introducing enduring fan favourite **CHIODOS **tracks like *Baby You Wouldn't Last a Minute on the Creek* and *The Words "Best Friend" Become Redefined*, with the latter receiving RIAA Gold certification, *All's Well That Ends Well* was genre-defiance at its finest, while also emerging as a landmark record in the scene in the mid 2000s. In 2025, Owens also re-recorded the album in full for its 20th anniversary.

**CHIODOS** emerged from a hiatus in 2024 when they were invited to play When We Were Young. From there, the band amassed sold out tours, including a packed Hollywood Palladium crowd, continuing to grow intergenerational fans singing every word to this very day. Most recently commencing a brand new chapter with the release of their explosive new single *TAPDAT*, **CHIODOS** continue their legacy bigger and better than ever before in 2026, and Australians will be able to witness this first hand this November when the band return down under for the first time since 2015.

A band who could readily soundtrack anything and everything from long drives through to workouts, small club shows and sprawling festival crowds, Florida's own **RAIN CITY DRIVE **have been crafting their immersive trademark sound since releasing their 2020 debut full-length *To Better Days, *which accounts for 40 million streams alone against their eye-watering streaming stats. In a short space of time, the group have toured with Dance Gavin Dance, Our Last Night, Set It Off, From Ashes To New and Memphis May Fire, bridging between heavy riffs and soaring, intimate pop with each new release and captivating live performance. With over one million monthly listeners on Spotify, a collab under their belt with Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker, Billboard chart rankings and climbing SiriusXM Octane's rotation charts along the way, **RAIN CITY DRIVE** blur boundaries between post hardcore and aggressive melody, primed to enamour Australian once again this year after their debut down under headline tour earlier this year.

Melbourne's **THE BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT** have remained fluent in fusing emotion alongside high-energy and hard-hitting riffs, spanning their 2017 debut album *I'm The Sin* through to the hotly-anticipated upcoming release of their third studio album *Euphoric Thriller*. Boasting a live presence that is equal parts magnetic, raw, vulnerable and powerful, **THE BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT** have shared stages with the likes of Evanescence, Escape The Fate, Short Stack and many more, and continuously share their central message that "it's okay not to be okay", threaded through each album and live performance. In a world that feels heavier than ever, **THE BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT** offer a port in the storm, unifying with catharsis and unforgettable music.
