Self-proclaimed pioneers of 'Y2KCORE', Oxford four-piece South Arcade (UK) have announced their first ever Australian headline tour this August, bringing their pumped up mix of nostalgic pop-rock and sassy alt-punk to fans across the East Coast.

It’s been a meteoric 12 months for the band, who have rapidly become one of the UK's most talked-about breakout acts. Fresh from a massive summer of festivals in Europe, including appearances at Download Festival, TRNSMT, Rock For People and more, South Arcade are riding the wave of momentum. Australian audiences got their first taste at Good Things Festival last December, where their packed-out performances stole the hearts of thousands.

South Arcade have been steadily drip-feeding new music, with latest single "DEADMEAT" dropping just last week, following on from "SUPERMAN" which was released in April and became the band’s biggest streaming debut to date with over 1.5 million streams on Spotify alone.

South Arcade are making the kind of noise that's impossible to ignore. With standout cuts "FEAR OF HEIGHTS," "Supermodels", and "Drive Myself Home" turning heads, they're taking over the alternative scene and the loudest chapters are still to come…

Don’t miss your chance to catch them on their biggest Australian shows to date.

HARDLINE MEDIA proudly presents SOILENT GREEN for their first time down under.

SOILENT GREEN from New Orleans, USA, are well known as one of the world's premiere Grindcore/Sludge Metal bands. The band's 1990s and early-2000s albums are regarded as trendsetting for the Grindcore genre, with a Rolling Stone article listing Soilent Green as one of the "ten most important hard and heavy bands" of the late 1990s.

Soilent Green's musical style is characterised as a contradictory mixture of Grindcore with Sludge and Blues-heavy Southern Rock. Rock Hard magazine initially described the band as an intersection of Eyehategod, Crowbar and A*** **** with occasional borrowings from Death Metal. Their groundbreaking albums "Pussysoul", "Sewn Mouth Secrets" and "A Deleted Symphony for the Beaten Down" helped pave the way for this genre. On their following albums the group's sound focused on Grindcore, which the band combined with influences from Sludge and Technical Death Metal. The press coined the term "Sludgegrind" for Soilent Green's 2008 album "Inevitable Collapse in the Presence of Conviction" .

Don't miss these shows, there gunna be down, dirty and sludgy. For fans of all good things Southern - Down, Eyehategod, Crowbar, Acid Bath, get your Grind on and get your tickets, they wont last

Frenzal Rhomb’s Sans Souci turns 23 - and we’re celebrating!

Here at Frenzal Rhomb, the number 23 has always been important to us. 23 pairs of human chromosomes, William Burroughs’ 23 enigma, Psalm 23 in the bible, “the Lord is my shepherd”; we’ve always been big with shepherds.

Actually, that’s all nonsense, we just missed the 20th, and the world may not make it until the 25th, so this year we’re celebrating the 23rd anniversary of Sans Souci!

The difficult sixth album, Sans Souci saw us back with Camel producer Eddie Ashworth for sixteen sweet servings of shrewd social commentary slid inside some superb punk pop skins, including the green-tinged morality tale of “Bucket Bong”, the complicated relationship drama of “I Went Out With A Hippy And Now I Love Everyone Except For Her”, even trying our hand at sports metal with “Punisher”.

There was the Kernaghanesque “Looking Good”, the Gastro-rock of “Ballchef”, and that song about Russell Crowe’s band we’ve been advised by our lawyers not to talk about.

And heaps more! And we’re gonna play them all* on the Frenzal Rhomb Sans Souci 23rd Anniversary Tour. A marquee event! And it’s still French for “no worries”.

Get tickets now before Russell Crowe’s lawyers get back in touch!

*look we may not make it through the whole album, and we probably won’t play it in order. So don’t go getting all weird and complain like that one person did on the Camel tour. We’ll give it all a red hot go though.

Frenzal Rhomb - Sans Souci 23rd Anniversary Tour

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 “Firecracker” through to “Wrong Side of the Tracks”, 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.

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.
