With Splendour in the Grass now completely sold out, Live Nation is pleased to announce that this year’s festival headliners CHILDISH GAMBINO and SZA, alongside fellow Atlanta hip-hop sensation RUSS, will each play a run of headline sideshows across the country. With the annual Byron Bay festival selling out within a matter of hours, fans will need to move swiftly to secure tickets to some of this year’s most anticipated festival sideshows.
Clowns highly anticipated new record Nature/Nurture is OUT NOW and as you may have guessed, the gang will not be waiting long to take these tunes to the stage across Australia and abroad!
Ahead of their highly anticipated second album Langata, electronic dance trio Crooked Colours have released another cut from the record, Hold On, out now. The simmering track follows previous hit singles I’ll Be There and Do It Like You, and is another piece of the enigmatic puzzle that is Langata. The trio, consisting of members Philip Slabber, Leon De Baughn and Liam Merrett-Park, have revealed that the album will be out on May 17, with preorders available now. The group have also announced the tracklist for the record, available below. Tickets to the upcoming Langata national tour are moving quickly, with a second Melbourne show being announced for May 26 after the first sold out within days, and shows added for Canberra, Wollongong and Newcastle. Joining Crooked Colours on the headline dates will be fellow triple j faves Nyxen and Kayex.
Returning to Australia for the annual Splendour In The Grass festival, Catfish And The Bottlemen have announced they will play headline shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, along with being recently announced on Adelaide’s Spin Off festival.
Prepare yourselves as two of the finest international heavy exports, Born Of Osiris & Chelsea Grin team up for a huge national co-headline Australian tour joined by homegrown talent Diamond Construct this June.
Born Of Osiris’ latest album The Simulation [Sumerian Records] debates the idea of Simulation Theory – which posits that reality and existence as we know them to be are merely a computer simulation. Of course, The Matrix explored such a possibility in 1999, while Elon Musk espouses this hypothesis as gospel for 2019. Born Of Osiris preserve such humanity within a torrent of destructive poly-rhythmic riffing, chaotic vocal transmissions, and synth disarray. The Chicago quintet are Ronnie Canizaro [lead vocals], Joe Buras [keys, synthesizers, vocals], Lee McKinney [guitar], Nick Rossi [bass], and Cameron Losch [drums]. Not only have they performed on stages with Judas Priest, Rob Zombie, Bring Me The Horizon, and more, but they also landed four consecutive entries on the Billboard Top 200.
Chelsea Grin, from Salt Lake City, Utah are currently signed to Rise Records and have released two EPs (Chelsea Grin in July 2008, and Evolve in June 2012) and five full-length albums! The band named themselves after the infamous torture maneuver known as the Glasgow smile or “Chelsea grin”. Chelsea Grin keeps the listener engaged in a unique onslaught of technical and aggressive riffage. Chelsea Grin have been featured on a large number of European and American music festivals which include Vans Warped Tour, Download Festival, With Full Force and many more.
Diamond Construct have spent the last 6 months touring around Australia alongside Alpha Wolf and Justice For The Damned in December & Thornhill in April, growing as performers, and putting their sounds into new ears and making new fans. As the year continues, the heavy outfit from Taree are hungry to get back on the road again, as they are gearing up to release their debut album in May and show the world what Diamond Construct are all about.
This is a must see tour for all heavy fans. Mark this Wednesday 10 April, 10am local time into your calendar as tickets go on-sale via www.tickets.destroyalllines.com.
