East Coast Australia - join us for an evening with Western Australia’s progressive metal pioneers, marking Voyager’s long-awaited return to the stage with a special night of music, comedy, and connection with their fans.

In November 2026, Voyager will present two carefully curated performances following an extraordinary and challenging period for the band, including frontman Danny Estrin’s two-year battle with terminal cancer. Against the odds, Voyager returns to the stage to share a unique live experience that goes beyond a traditional concert - blending performance and storytelling. Special guests to be announced.

This follows Danny being invited as a special guest commentator for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, presenting alongside Courtney Act for the 70th year anniversary of the contest. Thrusting him back into the spotlight, Danny’s charisma and charm yet again resonates with the Australian audience and what better way to extend a further invitation to the fans by playing two special shows later this year.

This will be a deeply meaningful celebration of resilience, creativity, and community, honouring one of Australia’s most internationally respected heavy music exports following their landmark Eurovision appearance.

Danny Estrin says: “every show I get to play with Voyager from now on is so special- to be able to do something so intimate and interactive as these two concerts is not only a celebration of music, but also a beautiful opportunity to share stories, laughs and tears with our amazing fans”

Join Voyager Through the Storms and the Stars and be a part of their continuing legacy.

REVEREND HORTON HEAT

The Johnnys

Ezra Lee & Jumpin' Jethro

Rockabilly high priests, the Reverend Horton Heat return to Australia to preach the good word on hell bound, high octane rock n roll.

Lead by slicked-back 1950′s rock & roll shaman Jim Heath and backed by his longtime double bass punisher Jimbo Wallace, no band rocks harder, drives faster, or lives truer than the Reverend Horton Heat.

The Reverend Horton Heat have blazed an indelible, meteoric trail across the globe with their unique blend of musical virtuosity & vital reinterpretation of the country-blues-rock roots of American music.

Jim Heath is a Revelator, a time-travelling space-cowboy on an endless inter-stellar musical tour, and we are all the richer & “psychobillier” for getting to tag along.

Joining the Reverend on selected Australian shows will be legendary Australian cow punks The Johnnys delivering blistering renditions from their back catalogue of essential country punk stretching all the way back to halcyon days of Oz pub rock of the early 1980's.

In Melbourne The Rev will also be joined by Ezra Lee & Jumpin' Jethro bringing the very best in arcane rock n roll boogie woogie, In Sydney renowned guitar man Pat Capocci will open up proceedings with The Johnnys to follow. In Brisbane 50's a double barrel explosion with rockers The Linelockers and Jake & The Cadillacs heating up the crowd along with Greasefest's own Lori Lee spinning choice rockabilly sounds to get y'all moving. In Adelaide Neo Rockabilly stars The Satellites will be dispensing their own brand of quality rock n roll vibrations.

Inject that pure musical nitrous into the hot-rod engine of your heart. The Reverend’s commandants are simple. “ROCK HARD, DRIVE FAST, AND LIVE TRUE.”

REVEREND HORTON HEAT - Australian Tour 2026

Hardline Media are proud present a dual headline tour, from the Cold Dark Depths of Norway and Siberia featuring MORTIIS and NYTT LAND, with special guest TiR from Turkey, performing their SOUTHERN RITUAL in late November across Australia.

MORTIIS needs no introduction to the Metal world, famous for being the bass player in early EMPEROR, Mortiis has since carved a long and respected career in the Dark Dungeon Synth world for the last 3 + decades. Mortiis has performed in Australia before as a solo one man show, but this time Australia will be treated to something very special... he will be bringing his band with him for the very first time, performing songs from "The Smell Of Rain" album and other volumes of Dystopian Despair. This is a first and not to be missed.

Check out new MORTIIS - "Ghosts Of Europa" https://youtu.be/PQcBobUAwsE

As joint headline and for their first time in Australia, Hardline prouldy present NYTT LAND from Siberia. A phenomenal aural and visual experience.

The band's style has been compared to that of Wardruna and Danheim with added traditional throat singing and handmade traditional instruments such as the Kantele and the Talharpa. Their music has been variously described by reviewers as 'truly authentic feeling', 'dark and mystical' and as 'keeping history alive'. Thematically, their work echoes many stories from Norse mythology and historic texts such as the Poetic Edda. In keeping with this tradition, much of Nytt Land's lyrics are composed and sung in the Old Norse language. See them for the first time in Australia, performing the "Aba Kahn" album and "Siberian Era" started on "Ritual".

Witness NYTT LAND - "U-Gra" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmR-pO6JT60

As National support, Hardline welcome TiR. Originally hailing from Turkey, TiR are a Dungeon Synth Folk project helmed by multi-instrumentalist and composer Oytun Bektas. For over a decade, TiR has carved a distinct artistic path where ancient melancholy and pastoral introspection merge into a cinematic soundscape that bridges the past and the universal.

Watch TiR - "Vengeance" www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PpEupF8aM4

This triple bill is surely not to be missed, for all fans of Dark, Ambient, Pagan Folk music, even Black Metal and all fans of quality music, come and witness the aural and visual magnificence of MORTIIS + NYTT LAND + TiR. You will not be disappointed, so get your tickets early as they are expected to go fast!

Dutch groove explorers YĪN YĪN have announced their first ever Australian shows, bringing their highly anticipated fourth album, Yatta! to stages in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Mullumbimby.

Fresh off a global run that’s taken them through festivals like Fuji Rock Festival and North Sea Jazz Festival, the Maastricht quartet continue to build on a sound that pulls from disco, funk, psychedelia and Southeast Asian influences, all grounded by an irresistible, steady groove.

Yatta! is described as their most cohesive work yet. The album leans into Italo disco textures, warped guitar lines and club-ready rhythms, while still offering moments for deeper, more introspective listening. It is a record crafted equally for dancing and for getting lost in the music.

Over the past few years, YĪN YĪN earned a reputation as an essential live act, consistently playing to packed venues across Europe, Asia, and the US. This upcoming Australian tour marks their exciting return, featuring both their celebrated new material and a deeper dive into their expansive catalogue.

Don’t miss your chance to catch YĪN YĪN on their first Australian tour.

VADER - Reign Forever Australia

UK psychedelic heavyweights Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats return to Australia and New Zealand this December, bringing their dark, hypnotic live show to stages across the country.

The brainchild of Kevin Starrs, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats have spent over a decade carving out a singular space within the global heavy music landscape. Since emerging in 2009 from the depths of the British underground, the band have built a reputation for their unmistakable fusion of warped psychedelic pop, downer blues and doom-metal intensity.

Too bold and idiosyncratic to be easily defined, Uncle Acid’s sound is steeped in haunting melodies, layered vocal harmonies and eerie, cinematic arrangements, offset by crushing riffs and a persistent sense of unease. It’s a sonic world that feels both deeply nostalgic and completely otherworldly, cementing Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats as one of the most compelling live acts in contemporary rock.

With their last visit to our shores in 2020, Australian audiences can expect a set that traverses the band’s cult catalogue, delivered with the immersive intensity that has made them a must-see worldwide.

Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats

Cash Savage & The Last Drinks play an end-of-year hometown show at The Croxton on December 5.

Naarm/Melbourne heavyweights Cash Savage & The Last Drinks have built a reputation as one of Australia's most powerful and emotionally charged bands. Their legendary live shows are an overwhelming flood of emotion and sound, with magnetic frontwoman Cash Savage at the centre of the storm. This is music that is epic in scale yet deeply human.

"It’s been a pretty quiet year for us while I’ve taken some time to write and record our next record. This one is particularly personal, it’s definitely been my most intentional body of work and honestly, I’m so fucking proud of it.

We’re excited to throw one on the boot before the year ends, to show everyone some of these new songs, as well as the old favourites.” — Cash Savage

The band's last album, So This Is Love, was awarded Best Album at the Music Victoria Awards and earned nominations from the ARIA Awards, Music Victoria Awards and National Live Music Awards — cementing their reputation as one of the country's most vital contemporary acts.

"One of the most powerful bands in the country… you won't hear much that's better than this" — The Guardian

"A fucking spectacular live phenomenon" — Beat Magazine

★★★★★ — The Age

Don't miss Cash Savage & The Last Drinks live at The Croxton, Saturday December 5. With very special guests GRUB and Fourteen Nights at Sea.

Hailing from the ocean-side suburb of Frankston, The Gnomes spent 2026 proving their ramshackle, high-voltage live show translates anywhere. Following the release of Magic Man, the band made their international debut at The Great Escape in Brighton, playing multiple sets to packed-out rooms. Headline shows in London, Glasgow and Manchester followed, including a sold-out debut at Third Man Records Soho and a sweaty Moth Club show complete with mosh pit and crowd surfing.

The critics took notice, with high praise from Clash, Classic Rock and MOJO, and support from Triple J, BBC 6 Music, NTS, Radio X and Apple Music.

Back on home soil, The Gnomes hit the road nationally with Australian rock legends Spiderbait, winning over a whole new wave of fans night after night. They head back to Europe for a November festival run taking in Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavík, Pitchfork Paris and London Calling in Amsterdam, and a span of much-hyped headline shows that are on track to sell out.

Drawing on Mersey beat, sixties garage and the snarl of the Stones and Stooges, The Gnomes write punchy, hook-laden songs built to be played loud, and their live reputation has grown with every show.

In December, fresh off the plane and firing on all cylinders, the band are bringing it all back home. Catch the "must see" band where it all started, before 2027 takes them even further afield.

"Here they are, ram-raiding the England capital sounding like an after-hours punch-up between the MC-5 and Hamburg-era Beatles...By the time The Gnomes stagger off stage after a short, sharp 30 minutes, the room feels as detonated as it is entertained." – Classic Rock Magazine

"Good time music played by some good ol' boys, their garage punk meets power pop brew is completely infectious. A ridiculously entertaining set." – Clash Magazine

DEATH TO ALL - A tribute to Death and the music of Chuck Schuldiner.

Considered to be among the most influential bands in heavy metal music, Death remains a pioneering force in death metal to this day.

On their first Australian tour, DEATH TO ALL will perform a massive legacy set and pay tribute to Death's entire catalogue, including material from ‘Scream Bloody Gore’ (1987), Leprosy (1988), ‘Spiritual Healing’ (1990), ‘Human’ (1991), ‘Individual Thought Patterns’ (1993), ‘Symbolic’ (1995), and ‘The Sound of Perseverance’ (1998).

Comprising of significant Death members: the legendary drummer Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel, Dethklok), bass beast Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Sadus), guitarist Bobby Koelble (Death) and joined by singer/guitarist Max Phelps (Exist, Cynic) this is a must see for anyone who calls themselves a fan of death metal and extreme music.

DARK ANGEL became known in the 80’s thrash metal circles for their ability to deliver some of the genre's most challenging and articulate albums without ever losing touch with its core attributes of pure speed and primal aggression. In 1986, DARK ANGEL released their second studio album, ‘Darkness Descends’, which is widely considered to be their seminal release and a thrash metal classic, and in September last year released their long-awaited comeback album ‘Extinction Level Event’!

DEATH TO ALL with DARK ANGEL performing at:

Jan 26th – Brisbane, The Triffid

Jan 28th – Sydney, Manning Bar

Jan 29th – Melbourne, The Croxton

Jan 30th – Adelaide, Froth & Fury Festival

50 years on from (I‘m) Stranded, The Saints epochal debut album release, and following on from a hugely successful tour of the USA, UK and Europe in 2025; The Saints ’73-’78 return for a summer Australian tour celebrating that poignant anniversary.

“Out of everything I’ve seen this year, I can’t think of anything more exciting and thrilling. This was one of those performances that makes this longtime fan grateful to be there and to be alive!”

He has toured globally as a headliner, with appearances at renowned festivals including
