US punk-metal mainstays **Strung Out** return to Australia this September to celebrate 30 years of their landmark album Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues with a national run of headline shows. Originally released in 1996, Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues crammed 13 songs into 32 breakneck minutes and became a defining record for a generation of punk fans. From the opening blast of &ldquo;Firecracker&rdquo; through to &ldquo;Wrong Side of the Tracks&rdquo;, the album's mix of hook-heavy melodies and high-speed riffs still hits just as hard today. Across ten albums and countless tours, **Strung Out** have built a reputation as one of the most explosive live bands in punk rock – loud, tight and direct, with no throwbacks for the sake of it and no wasted moments.   This September, Australian fans will hear Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues celebrated throughout the set, alongside favourites from across the band's catalogue.

**CARCASS 'Putrefying Down Under' with guests BRUJERIA**

**Australian & New Zealand Tour September 22nd – October 2nd, 2026**

Ferocious and uncompromising in their execution**, CARCASS'**s ability to intricately dissect the innards of death metal, and display them for us to sonically understand has been their point of excellence for nearly four decades. Whether it was inventing gore-grind or creating the template for melodic death metal, **CARCASS** has always made records by which bars were set and rules were broken.

Steeped in dense myth, extreme metal's most notorious antiheroes, **BRUJERIA,** materialize in Australia after nine years, to spin their tales of anarchic mayhem and lawless fury. They are eternal banditos, prepared to party. Walking along the border of death and grindcore, **BRUJERIA** are a street-level exercise in performance art, with frightening dramatic effect as well as dark satire.

**Sept 22nd –** Perth, Magnet House
 **Sept 24th –** Adelaide, Lion Arts Factory

MONSTERS OF THRASH: FLOTSAM AND JETSAM (USA) + MORTAL SIN w/ Hidden Intent & LivewireAUSTRALIAN TOUR 2026 ANNOUNCED

For the first time ever down under, US thrash metal legends Flotsam and Jetsam will join forces with Australian thrash pioneers Mortal Sin for a devastating co-headline tour across Australia this September and October.

Like a two-headed beast of pure thrash fury, these genre-defining acts will deliver a relentless assault for Australian fans, bringing together decades of history, influence and raw power in one unmissable run.

Over a career spanning more than 40 years, Flotsam and Jetsam have stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Venom, earning their place as one of thrash metal's most respected and enduring names. From their landmark debut Doomsday for the Deceiver - famously awarded the only ever 6K rating in Kerrang! history - through to modern thrash masterpieces like The End of Chaos, Blood in the Water and I Am The Weapon, the Arizona legends continue to prove why they remain one of the genre's most ferocious live acts. 

The band now return armed with a brand-new album, Rats In The Temple, due out August 28 via Napalm Records. Described by vocalist Eric &ldquo;A.K.&rdquo; Knutson as &ldquo;our best effort to date,&rdquo; the record delivers 13 tracks of razor-sharp thrash packed with crushing riffs, ornate guitar harmonies, pummelling rhythms and dark lyrical themes centred around war, betrayal and human destruction. Early reports are already calling the album another major step forward in the band's ongoing modern-era resurgence. 

Fronted by the unmistakable voice of A.K. Knutson, Flotsam and Jetsam continue to thrive with arguably their strongest modern lineup yet, featuring founding guitarist Michael Gilbert alongside guitar shredder Steve Conley, powerhouse drummer Ken Mary - known for his work with Alice Cooper and Accept - and technically blistering bassist Bill Bodily. 

Fresh from their long-awaited return to the stage, Mortal Sin continue to cement their place as Australia's most influential thrash export. Following their comeback tour and exclusive appearances at major European festivals including Keep It True Festival, Alcatraz Metal Festival and Brutal Assault, alongside headline runs across Europe and Australia, the band show no signs of slowing down. This tour sees them bring their iconic catalogue and renewed firepower to Australian stages alongside an international thrash heavyweight, making for a truly special run of shows.

Joining them on all dates are South Australian thrash outfit Hidden Intent, known for their relentless live energy and global touring presence, alongside Sydney speed metal force Livewire, rounding out a stacked lineup of Australian heavy music.

Wednesday, Sept 30 – Brisbane – Crowbar
Thursday, Oct 1 – Adelaide – Lion Arts Factory
Friday, Oct 2 – Melbourne – Max Watt's
Saturday, Oct 3 – Sydney – Crowbar

**GUTTERMOUTH &ldquo;ONE LAST TIME&rdquo; FAREWELL TOUR**

Guttermouth, the unapologetic, wise-cracking punk rock institution fronted by the one and only Mark Adkins, is heading back to Australia for what the band insists&mdash;cross their hearts and hopeto die&mdash;is absolutely, triple-promise-the-last-time their final tour Down Under.

Titled "One Last Time", the run consists of just seven shows in October 2026, giving fans one last chance to catch them live before Mark hangs up his mic for good... or at least until he changes his mind again. Turning 60 years old on October 10 this year and having already visited Australia 20+ times, Mark has officially had it. "I've been coming here since before half of you were born," Adkins said in a recent interview from his couch. "I've seen the beaches, the bars, the bans, the bullshit. I've partied, I've fought, I've blacked out in places I still can't pronounce, enough is enough&rdquo;

Guttermouth's Australian history is pure punk legend: wild nights, venue bans, "farewell" tours that weren't, and a fanbase that's ridden the chaos for decades. This tour tips its hat to the country that's welcomed (and occasionally booted) them back forever. So, grab a ticket if you're game for one more round. Or don't. Mark's feet are up, cold one in hand, zero fucks left. This is it&mdash;'One Last Time,' or whatever the hell comes next...

**Nathan Evans** is bringing his distinctly Scottish sound to Australian shores for the first time ever in October 2026. Evans, joined by SAINT PHNX Band are set to mesmerise audiences in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth with his unique blend of folk-pop and shanty sounds.

Known for his viral reinterpretation of the traditional song &ldquo;Wellermen&rdquo;, now sitting at half a billion streams, the then-amateur-turned-global-sensation combines traditional Scottish instruments, deep lyrics and heartfelt melodies to form an unmistakable sound. 

Four years, a double-platinum record (UK), and countless awards later, Nathan Evans has returned with a new album1994, bringing us new fan favourite &ldquo;Heather On The Hill&rdquo;. A love letter to his wife and hometown, the track climbed UK singles charts and earned Evans invitations to appear on TV shows and prestigious stages worldwide. 

The story of Nathan Evans is reminiscent of a modern internet fairy tale. A struggling musician delivering mail by day in a small town outside Glasgow, he began sharing his life and artistic work with his fans on social media. Everything changed when a 26-year-old Nathan Evans decided to post an acapella version of &ldquo;Wellerman&rdquo; to Tik Tok, spawning a massive viral trend. A month later, he had a three-album record deal with Universal. He has now built a community of almost 450k Instagram followers and more than 1.9 million TikTok followers.

Capturing hearts with his authenticity and relatability, Evans has never lost sight of his humble Scottish roots. With countless shows around the UK and Europe under his belt as well as two appearances at TRNSMT festival, Nathan Evans recently stepped onto the biggest stage of his career yet: his first headline arena show at Glasgow's OVO Hydro Arena. 

For the first time next October, Nathan Evans and the SAINT PHNX BAND will transport Australian audiences to the enchanting ruggedness of Scotland.
