As they prepare to take the stage in Melbourne tonight for the final show of their sold-out national tour, we are stoked to welcome Sydney five-piece, Polaris to the Download 2019 line up!

Jumping out of the gates ahead of the full second line up announcement, due to drop at 8.30am,Wednesday November 14^th!

Here is a message from Polaris:

2018 is the year that Sydney five-piece, Polaris have cemented their place in the global scene among Australia’s most elite heavy music exports with a metalcore torch held high in their hands. In January, they toured with seminal down-under heavy heroes Parkway Drive and a show-stealing appearance at their second Unify Gathering. They have slapped a sold-out sign on all three of their Australian headline tours this year including their most recent national tour headlining their biggest shows to date. One of 2017’s most anticipated heavy releases, Polaris’ debut album, ‘The Mortal Coil’ stunned audiences and critics upon its release in November, landing at #6 on the ARIA Album Charts and #1 on the Independent Albums Chart, scoring a Triple J Feature Album. Polaris gain a reputation as one of Australia’s most invigorating live heavy acts.

Polaris join heavy music, heavyweight conquerors:
