Self-described as a *&ldquo;bald and bearded, metal-headed, hill hiking, dopamine dealing, loud sounding man&rdquo;, *Seattle-based comedian LUKE SEVEREID has made a name for himself around the globe, fusing comedy with a love for heavy metal music and unique insights on life and the world swirling around him.

Having made an impact doing stand-up on the 2025 edition of KNOTFEST AUSTRALIA, the funnyman today announces his return Down Under,  announcing the aptly titled 'HERE TO F#@K SPIDERS' tour for September! 

SEVEREID's comedic style has been described as &ldquo;*aggressively absurd&rdquo;* and &ldquo;*idiotically insightful&rdquo;*; his material has fast grown an online audience of over half a million followers, with shows around the world bringing him notoriety and popularity in equal measure. Among his recent accomplishments, SEVEREID has recorded two comedy specials in Minneapolis, MN that are to be released exclusively through KNOTFEST – the first filmed stand up comedy specials to be hosted by the online media and culture platform. 

With his tour of Australia and New Zealand adding to an impressive scorecard, SEVEREID is only continuing to cement his status as a comedy talent to pay attention to.

Don't miss your chance to catch him this September!

**A message from Luke:**

*"I am VERY excited to return to Australia. Had a blast last year when I came out as part of Knotfest and I'm beyond stoked to be coming back. Aussie crowds are far and away some of the best crowds I've ever performed in front of. It's like telling jokes to rooms full of my country's cousins who get to say the C word with complete impunity and do so with gleeful grins.*

*Looking forward to seeing yall again this September! *

*Bring your spiders&hellip;.&rdquo;*

Lucas Zelnick (SECOND SHOW)

**UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS**

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 AUS / NZ Tour

**MONO "Snowdrop" Australian Tour 2027**

**Japanese instrumental rock group MONO** have announced their new album 'Snowdrop' will be released on 12 June 2026. It will be followed first Australian tour in 4 years, taking place in April 2027. The legendary quartet will perform in Perth for the first time since 2020.

When MONO recorded their previous album, OATH, with longtime production partner and friend, Steve Albini in 2023, they never fathomed that it would be the final studio album they made together. Albini tragically died the following year, and that loss left an incalculable void in the lives of not just everyone who ever knew Steve, but everyone with an attachment to any of the thousands of records he helped bring into world over the past four decades. He brought a clarity to the chaos, and a selfless sense of service to art and artists that was unrivaled. On both a personal and practical level, the loss left MONO faced with profound grief and uncertainty. Albini had become a fundamental part of MONO's unmistakable sound, and the thought of replacing him was daunting, to say the least. Enter: Brad Wood (Touch&eacute; Amor&eacute;, The Smashing Pumpkins).

Chosen for both his familiarity with MONO's creative and technical working process – as well as his decades-long friendship with Steve Albini – Brad Wood entered Albini's storied Electrical Audio studios in September 2025 to record what would become Snowdrop. Once again working with Chicago-based conductor and orchestral musical director, Chad McCullough, MONO enlisted a 10-piece orchestra as well as an 8-piece choir for the eight massive pieces that make up Snowdrop. With the band performing and Wood recording in the same hallowed space where most of MONO's records had been made in their quarter-century history, the songs on Snowdrop carry an extra weight. Mixed by Wood at his Seagrass home studio in Los Angeles, the album is equally intimate and enveloping.

Where there could easily be a pall hanging over Snowdrop, there is instead an extraordinary air of gratitude. Rather than steep in heartache, there is a poignant appreciation for the resonance of life well-spent with a dear friend – and the yearning for what may come. Snowdrop is the sound of a band turning shock and sadness into hope and wonder – and finding renewed focus in the freedom of unknowing.

Originally formed in 1999, MONO's unique approach blends orchestral arrangements and shoegaze guitar noise into memorable and emotional epics. Consistently held in high regard by their peers, their music has been praised by media, including NME proclaiming &ldquo;This is music for the Gods.&rdquo; Amongst their fans, they are revered as one of the best live experiences in rock.
