Watch: Peach PRC – Miss Erotica

Taking her explosive live show around the world, performing across North America, UK and Europe, Peach PRC is flourishing in her artistry. Fresh off the back of a sold-out North American headline tour and performances at All Things Go Music Festival in Washington D.C. and New York City,while also gracing the stage at Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Spilt Milk, and Spin Off Festival back home, she then performed as special guest for K-Pop superstars Blackpink in London’s Hyde Park.

One of Australia’s most compelling pop storytellers, Peach is celebrated globally for her emotionally rich, unfiltered and vulnerable, honest songwriting, magnetic personality, irreverent humour, and online cultural footprint, she is quickly becoming one of Australia’s most influential new-gen pop visionaries, cultivating a deeply engaged community while continuing to push pop into a bold and theatrical territory.

With over 230 million streams across the discography and over 2 billion social views, Peach is still riding a high from her debut EP Manic Dream Pixie debuting at #1 on the ARIA Album Charts and amassing over tens of millions of streams globally. The EP garnered multiple ARIA Award Nominations, won her Music Act of the Year at the Tik Tok Awards in 2023 as well as receiving glowing praise from the likes of Billboard, Vogue, NME, Rolling Stone and Wonderland, who hailed the release as “an honest and powerful introduction to her artistry.” Fan favourite singles from the EP, ‘F U Goodbye’ and ‘Perfect For You’ earned her #68 and #63, respectively in triple j’s Hottest 100, and a Rolling Stone Award for Song Of The Year. ​

Joining Peach PRC on all Australian dates are US pop newcomer, Maude Latour and Sydney pop artist, Salty.

Maude Latour:

Watch: Maude Latour – One More Weekend

Maude Latour is fulfilling her pop destiny. Born in Sweden, raised in London and Hong Kong as well as New York City, and now residing in Los Angeles, Latour began writing songs at 15 and released her first EP, Starsick, in 2019. Her ever-evolving catalogue includes the viral lockdown-era hit “One More Weekend” plus four infectious EPs, which have won over critics from The New York Times to NPR, and earned performances at Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, Austin City Limits, and many more. Now, with her new debut album Sugar Water, the 24-year-old is doubling down on her formula of combining studio experimentation with undeniable cosmic-pop hooks and thoughtful lyrics, inviting her audience to come along for the ride, eyes and mind wide open, and stereo turned up as far as it can go.

Salty:

Watch: Salty – See U In 3

​Sydney pop artist Salty has seriously been turning heads since her return in July 2024 with “See U in 3”. A song with a mix of sensuality, sass and energy that few were prepared for, this saw her step over a threshold and up into the commencement of a new era. Salty has risen through to become a name on the lips of tastemakers and fans. What sets her apart from the mainstream crowd is her incorporation of dance into every aspect of her artistic expression. From the studio to the stage, she seamlessly merges her magnetic melodies with provocative choreography.

With a strong sense of musicality, latest single “Miss Erotica” (out now via Island Records Australia), signifies the next era of Peach PRC, with fans eagerly awaiting what’s to come for Australia’s most exciting pop talent.

An impressive stage presence and mesmerising live concepts, don’t miss one to watch, Peach PRC as she brings her Wandering Spirit Tour to Australia and New Zealand next March, with special guests Maude Latour and Salty.

CHARLI XCX TODAY RELEASES ‘HOUSE’

LISTEN HERE
​WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO HERE

Credit – Paul Kooiker

Charli xcx today releases ‘House’. You can watch ‘House’, featuring John Cale of The Velvet Underground, HERE. The video was directed by Mitch Ryan.

‘House’ is the first taste of Charli’s album written for Emerald Fennel’s highly anticipated “Wuthering Heights”, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

“I got a call from Emerald Fennell last Christmas asking whether I would consider working on a song for her adaptation of Wuthering Heights. I read the script and immediately felt inspired so Finn Keane and I began working on not just one but many songs that we felt connected to the world she was creating. After being so in the depths of my previous album I was excited to escape into something entirely new, entirely opposite. When I think of Wuthering Heights I think of many things. I think of passion and pain. I think of England. I think of the Moors, I think of the mud and the cold. I think of determination and grit.

A few years ago I watched Todd Haynes’ documentary about The Velvet Underground. As many of you know I’m a huge fan of the band and was really taken by the documentary. One thing that stuck with me was how John Cale described a key sonic requirement of The Velvet Underground. That any song had to be both “elegant and brutal”. I got really stuck on that phrase. I write it down on my notes app and would pull it up from time to time and think about what he meant.

When working on music for this film, “elegant and brutal” was a phrase I kept coming back to. One day whilst on tour in Austin, Finn and I went to the studio and wrote the bones for a song that would eventually become House. When the summer ended I was still ruminating on John’s words. So I decided to reach out to him to get his opinion on the songs that his phrase had so deeply inspired, but also to see whether he might want to collaborate on any.

We got connected, we spoke on the phone and wow… that voice, so elegant, so brutal. I sent him some songs and we started talking specifically about House. We spoke about the idea of a poem. He recorded something and sent it to me. Something that only John could do. And it was… well, it made my cry.

I feel so lucky to have been able to work with John on this song. I’ve been so excited to share it with you all, sitting quietly in anticipation.

Love you all, let’s fall in love again and again <3″ –Charli xcx

Early next year, Charli will star in A24’s ‘The Moment’. Based on an original idea by Charli and directed by Aidan Zamiri, the film is the first co-production from her new studio365 venture.

In addition, Charli will star in Daniel Goldhaber’s remake of 1978 cult horror ‘Faces of Death’, Greg Araki’s erotic thriller ‘I Want Your Sex’, Cathy Yan’s upcoming independent film ‘The Gallerist’, Julia Jackman’s period fantasy ‘100 Nights Of Hero’, Romain Gavras’ satirical action ‘Sacrifice’ and Pete Ohs’ intimate drama ‘Erupcja’.

News: MEMPHIS MAY FIRE and BLESSTHEFALL Announce 2026 Australia Tour!

WHEN THE FIRE MEETS THE FALL

MEMPHIS MAY FIRE AND BLESSTHEFALL ANNOUNCE 2026 AUSTRALIA TOUR!

“Memphis May Fire was truly next level. Tight, polished but real. They pulled from across their eight albums and hit every note with insane energy. Between the setlist, the crowd energy, and how on fire the band was, it was one of those shows you walk out of feeling absolutely alive. They hit every marker, performing their songs even better than on their albums, and all the while personally engaged. Nailed it!” Aaron Borg (StereoFade.com)

 

MEMPHIS MAY FIRE’s last tour of Australia was absolute mayhem. 5 sold out shows. Jaw dropping performances. Off the hook reviews. And 1600+ fans left on waiting lists around the country unable to secure tickets.

“Seeing and hearing from so many fans that missed out is the main reason we wanted to come back as quickly as possible. We know it is going to be a very long time before we get to come back to Australia after this album cycle is done and we didn’t want to wait another 5 years to come back to make it up to them.”

Not only are MEMPHIS MAY FIREcoming back with a brand-new album and a killer new set, they are bringing an amazing gift in the shape of very special guests, Phoenix Arizona legends BLESSTHEFALL (who will also perform a headline length set), for their first Australian shows in 9 years.

“From the moment the first note reverberated through the venue, it was clear that this was not just a concert; it was an immersive journey into the heart of metalcore.

Blessthefall’s unique blend of passion and power is nothing short of breathtaking. The band members poured their souls into every note, creating an atmosphere that was impossible to resist. The bond between the band and audience was an unbreakable connection forged through the shared love of music.”

“BLESSTHEFALL proved that the raw, unbridled energy of a live show unites strangers, even if only for a night. An invigorating reminder of the primal force that is metal. An exhilarating performance. If you ever have the chance to witness Blessthefall live in concert, do not hesitate, as it is an electrifying experience you will not forget.”  Jennifer Blac (Capital Chaos TV)

 

This is a seismic team-up that’s set to redefine metalcore delivering unrelenting riffs, breakdowns, and anthemic screams to ravenous crowds. With over two decades of combined touring dominance, these two bands have shared stages worldwide, from Warped Tour to packed U.S. arenas, and now they’re bringing their explosive synergy to Australia!

Featuring DE LA SOUL, THE STREETS, BERNARD FANNING, PEACH PRC, MARLON WILLIAMS and more!
QPAC, South Bank | March 2026
Tickets On Sale Friday 14 November

On the Banks, a new outdoor live concert series in the heart of Brisbane/Meanjin, is set to bring a stellar lineup of international and Australian acts to the Cultural Forecourt in South Bank in March 2026.

Set to run from 1 – 22 March 2026, On the Banks’ first lineup features a diverse list of Australian and international headliners and supporting artists. Together they bring a melting pot of alternative, pop, garage, R&B, and hip-hop sounds to the riverside.

1 March: Taking it back to the essence, Droppin’ Science is a night dedicated to hip hop in all its forms, celebrating the culture that raised us, the pioneers who opened doors, and the new wave of trailblazers walking boldly through them. Hip-hop icons De La Soul will bring their timeless grooves to On the Banks with Oddisee & Good Compny and Miss Kaninna on Sunday 1 March. True pioneers of the genre, the De La Soul trio has redefined rap with their playful lyrics, jazz-infused beats, and groundbreaking debut 3 Feet High and Rising. With a career spanning over three decades, De La Soul continue to inspire generations, delivering feel-good energy and unmatched stage presence wherever they perform. Rapper and producer Amir Mohamed aka Oddisee and his backing band, Good Compny, will bring their lauded lyrical commentary on sociopolitical issues intertwined with soulful funk to On the Banks as a supporting act. Proud Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali woman, Miss Kaninna, became the first independent Aboriginal woman to be nominated for a single at the ARIA Music Awards. Now the Blak Britney singer, songwriter and rapper will bring her hip-hop, neo-soul, and R&B sounds to On the Banks alongside De La Soul and Oddisee & Good Compny.

6 March: From the UK, On the Banks will welcome the legendary Mike Skinner aka The Streets on Friday 6 March, for the first time ever performing in full, A Grand Don’t Come For Free. The Streets have shaped the sound and spirit of UK hip-hop, garage, and grime since the early 2000s. With anthems like Blinded By The Lights and Dry Your Eyes, Skinner’s razor-sharp lyricism and innovative production have made him a Glastonbury veteran and one of the most influential storytellers of his generation.
DE LA SOUL
7 March: Australia’s feel-good phenomenon, DISCO CLUB, is set to light up On the Banks for International Women’s Day weekend on Saturday 7 March. Created by powerhouse Queensland media duo, Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills, the sell-out sensation has swept the nation, bringing tens of thousands of women together for the ultimate night out singing and dancing. Playing hits from the 80s, 90s, 00s and beyond, DISCO CLUB is everything women miss about clubbing, and nothing they don’t. Follow the call of the disco ball as DISCO CLUB reimagines the girls’ night out.

15 March: One of the country’s most celebrated singer-songwriters, Bernard Fanning, will make his way to On the Banks for a Brisbane “Final Encore” performance for his Tea & Sympathy 20th Anniversary tour, on Sunday, 15 March. Celebrating two decades since the release of his critically acclaimed debut solo album, the Brisbane-born powerhouse and former Powderfinger frontman has solidified himself as a staple in the Australian music landscape, with his emotive and distinctive voice completely capturing hearts. Following multiple sold-out shows, Bernard has assembled an outstanding Australian line up for this event, with Kasey Chambers, The Paper Kites, Troy and Jem Cassar-Daley and Georgia Mooney, to join him on stage. His trophy cabinet holds seven number one albums, 23 ARIA Awards, five APRA Awards, and his catalogue has lasted the test of time. With top hits like Wish You Well, Songbird, Watch Over Me and Thrill is Gone all engrained in the Australian psyche, the city is bound to sing its heart out with Bernard at On the Banks.

19 March: Australian pop sensation Peach PRC will hit On the Banks on Thursday 19 March. Celebrated for her emotionally rich and vulnerable yet honest songwriting, her debut EP Manic Dream Pixie shot to number one on the ARIA Album Charts. She’s lit up stages at Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival and Spilt Milk, while amassing tens of millions of streams globally. Quickly becoming one of Australia’s most influential new-gen pop visionaries with a cultivated and deeply engaged following, Peach PRC is set to bring her signature glitter-pop energy, magnetic personality and irreverent humour to the riverfront.

21 March: A colourful blend of Punjabi music, food and cultural flair, the programBlockbuster will come to Brisbane’s On the Banks on Saturday 21 March. Artists hailing from Northern India and Pakistan will feature in this curated program that will echoRISING’s Blockbuster program in Melbourne earlier this year. Featuring yet-to-be-revealed artists, Brisbane’s Blockbuster program will bring a fusion of traditional Qawwali folk with Punjabi beats and Pakistani pop music. Blockbuster will make its Queensland debut in the days following Eid al-Fitr with incredible food, art and music to celebrate Brisbane’s vibrant Punjabi community.

22 March: Flying in from Aotearoa, the inimitable Marlon Williams will bring his velvet vocals and cinematic ballads to On the Banks on Sunday 22 March to perform his new album Te Whare Tīwekaweka – an album entirely in Te reo Māori (Māori language), alongside songs from his acclaimed catalogue. An embrace of his cultural identity, Marlon will perform alongside a Kapa Haka choir, dancing and singing in Te reo Māori. Whether you know him from his solo records, duets with the likes of Lorde, or his roles on screen, Marlon’s voice is the kind that stops you in your tracks.

ENNY
DOESN’T QUIT MUSIC AND INSTEAD RETURNS WITH
NEW SINGLE + VIDEO
“SELFRIDGES”
LISTEN HERE | WATCH HERE
OUT NOW VIA FAMM
(Tuesday 11 November) – Following a breakout summer that saw her join Jorja Smith as support on her North American tour, while headlining her own sold-out dates across New York, Chicago, Toronto and Los Angeles, not to mention appearance on Lyrical Lemonade and On The Radar, South East London’s ENNYreturns with her brand new single and video, “Selfridges”, out now via FAMM.

The video, directed by ENNY and Ivor Lawson-Adamah, was teased as a part of a hugely viral campaign that saw ENNY pretend to quit music to launch The Peng Black Girls Cleaning Company. Starring Enny alongside popular creator Face In The News, the duo take viewers on a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek day-in-the-life journey on what would have happened had the venture taken place.

“Selfridges” captures ENNY at her most playful and self assured. Over buttery, jazz-infused production, she characteristically reflects with the same deft storytelling and wit that have made her one of the UK’s most distinctive voices. Speaking on the track, ENNY says “This song came about after a session with Gotts Street Park to finish ‘Mountains’ in 2022. We had a little jam nothing serious, they played, I wrote and drank a magnum as I did back then. I loved that the music was so happy go lucky but I wasn’t. I heard the demo again last year and it still felt as fun as it did when we recorded it. And it reminded me that I just want to have fun and be as creatively alive when making music. And how do I make this feel more alive? We create a world around it! Take people on a journey of creating my own business outside of music, which when announcing my career pivot completely took me by surprise, with the outpour of love. I’m not quitting music but thank you for all your support in my current and new ventures.”
“Selfridges” follows this summer’s “Cabin Feva” and continues ENNY’s rich creative streak, as she steps further into her next chapter with a renewed sense of freedom and humor. This 13 November, ENNY will play a very special intimate headline show at House of KOKO, her first London performance since returning from the US. She also recently performed a standout set at London’s Prada Mode in October.

With over 350 million global streams and continues to redefine what it means to be a modern British storyteller; unflinchingly honest, soulfully self-aware, and always in her own lane. Over the past few years she’s collaborated with Jorja Smith, Loyle Carner, Smino, Odeal, Masego and more performed live on Later…with Jools Holland, been regularly playlisted across BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra and graced the covers of magazines such as CRACK, DORK, The Guardian, Wonderland and POP. Last year, she visited Australia to perform at SXSW Sydney and has continued to see support locally from RUSSH, Double J and more.

Sir Tony Robinson is one of Britain’s most beloved and well-known thespians.  With a career spanning over five decades, Robinson began acting at the age of 13 in the original West End production of Oliver! and trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama. His comedic timing and Baldrick’s memorable catchphrase “I have a cunning plan” made him a household name. Beyond acting, he has written 16 children’s books and voiced numerous audiobooks, including Terry Pratchett’s Discworldseries.

Robinson is also widely celebrated for his work in historical broadcasting. He hosted the long-running Channel 4 archaeology series Time Team, as well as The Worst Jobs in History, Britain’s Ancient Tracks, and Tony Robinson’s Wild West. His passion for making history accessible and engaging earned him an honorary doctorate from the University of Exeter and a knighthood in 2013 for public and political service.

Sir Tony Robinson also hosted two Australian TV programs: Tony Robinson Explores Australia (also known as Tony Robinson Down Under), which premiered in 2011, and Tony Robinson’s Time Walks, which premiered in 2012. The first series looked at Australia’s history, from early explorers to multiculturalism, while Time Walks focused on the hidden histories of specific streets and towns in both Australia and New Zealand.

Now in his 70s, Tony is celebrating his life on stage and screen—sharing stories from his remarkable career, his passion for history, and his thrilling fiction debut The House of Wolf, an epic tale of Alfred the Great and the bloody birth of England.

Drawing on decades of archaeological expertise and his gift for making the past come alive, Tony will reveal the gritty reality behind the legend of Alfred the Great in his latest work.   What was life really like for ordinary people caught between Saxon kings and Viking raiders? How did political scheming in medieval courts compare to today’s power struggles? This isn’t just historical fiction – it’s Tony’s unique take on the real events that shaped a nation.

Audiences will hear some of the best behind-the-scenes stories from Time Team, Blackadder, The Worst Jobs in History and beyond – and have the chance to ask Tony anything, from writing his first novel at 78 to why Baldrick still gets the biggest laughs.

This will be a night of brilliant storytelling, big laughs, and history with a twist—all delivered by a man who always had… a cunning plan.

News: Iconic UK rock band Biffy Clyro announce 2026 Australian tour

Iconic UK rock band Biffy Clyro announce 2026 Australian tour

Biffy Clyro have announced they’re returning to Australia for the first time in 8 years. Headed to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in April 2026, the Scottish trio will be playing gems from their triple-platinum discography including their new album Futique.

Known for songs like “Many Of Horror” and “Bubbles”, Biffy Clyro have secured their spot as one of the UK’s most successful rock bands. Their latest album Futique, released in September, received widespread critical acclaim. Praised by NME as “a vulnerable yet life-affirming blast”, the release saw Biffy Clyro climb to the top of the UK album charts for the fourth time.

Biffy Clyro started out in the Glasgow club scene, accumulating loyal fans with their grunge, hardcore and prog rock-influenced sound. 2009’s Only Revolutions saw the band break through to an international audience, going platinum in 2010 and earning a Mercury Music Prize nomination. The band have experimented with various genres across their ten-album discography, evolving from their math rock roots to an arena-ready rock sound.

Renowned for their live performances, Biffy Clyro have performed numerous headline sets at the legendary festivals like Reading & Leeds, Download, TRNSMT and Isle of Wight. With their live show praised by Kerrang! as “a masterclass in joy and professionalism, with every element finely tuned”, Biffy Clyro were recently nominated by Rolling Stone for The Live Act category at this year’s awards. No stranger to an awards ceremony, the band have received four NME Awards, five Kerrang! Awards, two Q Awards, a BAFTA and three BRIT nominations over the course of their career.

Biffy Clyro’s 2026 tour offers Australian audiences the chance to see the rock legends at the top of their game.

News: TISM Announce Exclusive 2026 Performance Live At The Sydney Opera House Next April Performing ‘Machiavelli and the Four Seasons’

TISM
ANNOUNCE EXCLUSIVE 2026 PERFORMANCE
LIVE AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE NEXT APRIL

PERFORMING ARIA AWARD-WINNING ALBUM
MACHIAVELLI AND THE FOUR SEASONS IN FULL

 

Monday, November 10, 2025 – In 2026, two undisputedAustralian icons will collide, with TISM today announcing an exclusive one-off performance next April at the Sydney Opera House. An evening not to be performed elsewhere ever, TISM will take the stage of the iconic Aussie landmark on Friday 10 April, performing their ARIA Award-winning 1995 album Machiavelli and the Four Seasons in full.

One of Australia’s most influential and enduring bands, TISM have spent decades forging a reputation for their genre-blurring, boundary-smashing, sarcasm-wielding (and entirely anonymous) antics. Emerging in the late 80s, the often balaclava-clad group have explored dance, pop, rock and caustic wit amongst other musical delights, spanning seven studio albums, countless award nominations and two ARIA Award wins, millions of streams, and a live performance reputation that truly has to be seen to be believed.

Released in 1995, Machiavelli and the Four Seasons marked album #3 for TISM, along with a significant stylistic shift from their earlier works that remains as sharp and relevant as ever. Blending satire, chaos and absolute creative genius into razor-sharp musical moments that couldn’t help but slice squarely into the zeitgeist, Machiavelli and the Four Seasons also catapulted TISM into mainstream infamy, with the group proving that authenticity and an unwillingness to conform can, on rare occasions and in the right masked hands, lead to commercial airplay, spending 72 weeks in the charts, peaking at #8, plus taking home the ARIA Award for Best Independent Release, ticking off three songs in triple j’s Hottest 100 in 1995, and also gifting some of the group’s most enduring cuts, including (He’ll Never Be An) Ol’ Man River and Greg! The Stop Sign!!. 

Retrospectively described by TheMusic.com.au as representing “in some ways a seismic shift in the core TISM sound but in other ways a return to their roots” and by Double J as possessing “ridiculously infectious pop with the bare faced mirth and fearless marauding spirit”, Machiavelli and the Four Seasons is an evergreen masterclass in absurdity and artistry three decades on since its release.

More recently reforming via some secret shows and an appearance at Good Things Festival in 2022, TISM ticked off a wildly successful headline run in 2024, with their Death To Art Tour taking over venues like Brisbane’s Riverstage, Sidney Myer Music Bowl and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion. Boasting supports from Machine Gun Fellatio, Eskimo Joe and The Mavis’s, and tour also honouring TISM‘s latest full-length Death to Art, which also became their highest charting album since the release of Machiavelli and the Four Seasons.

Just when you thought you’d seen it all, it’s an iron-clad guarantee that you absolutely have never witnessed anything quite like TISM live at the Sydney Opera House. Don’t miss your chance to experience this once-in-a-lifetime performance in 2026; you’ll never see TISM like this elsewhere, ever.

Tour Announcement | BABYMETAL 2026 Australian Headline Tour With Special Guests Bloodywood

BABYMETAL
2026 AUSTRALIAN HEADLINE TOUR
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS BLOODYWOOD
DOWNLOAD PRESS ASSETS
A dazzling global force to be reckoned with, in 2026 Metal sensations BABYMETAL are set to tour Australian arenas next March joined by Indian metal behemoths BLOODYWOOD.

Opening on Thursday 12 March in Perth, BABYMETAL will blaze their way through Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, before concluding their headline run on Sunday 22 March in Brisbane.

Hailing from Tokyo, BABYMETAL‘s origin story stems back to 2010, with the group forging their own unique sonic sound via heavy metal and Japanese idol cues. Swiftly evolving into a global sensation that has embraced genre-defiance, five studio albums, countless award wins, millions of global followers, tours around the world, chart success and collaborations with the likes of Tom Morello, Electric Callboy, Spiritbox and countless others, BABYMETAL continue to reinvent themselves and what it means to be a heavy band in the 21s century; a fact robustly on display with each new performance and release.

Most recently flexing their wares via their 2025 fifth studio album METAL FORTH, which saw the group become the first all-Japanese act to reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200 and also contained a feature from BLOODYWOOD on Kon! Kon! amongst other collabs, BABYMETAL have also spent the better part of 2025 on the road, from performing in Australia at Knotfest in February and March, through to headlining in Europe, the UK, North America, and, earlier this week, ticking off a special arena show in Mexico.

Closer to home, BABYMETAL made their first ever Australian live performance in 2018 at Good Things Festival, before returning in 2023 for their debut headline run, and enamouring once again earlier this year in a festival setting as part of Knotfest Australia. Renowned for their high-octane heaviness, infectious choreography and dazzling-yet-blistering charisma, BABYMETAL‘s earlier Aussie performances have relentlessly captivated crowds, with Everblack Media dubbing their Brisbane headline show earlier this year “a meticulously crafted fusion of precision and power”, while Volume Mediaenthused of the band’s debut 2023 headline shows that “it transcended cultural boundaries, generational boundaries, and genre boundaries. We entered the metalverse with BABYMETAL, and none of us came out the same.”

Balancing guttural metal, Indian folk elements, hip hop hues and lyricism that span humour, culture and social issues, BLOODYWOOD are a band like no other. An act who have proudly flown the flag for Indian metal increasingly on a global scale since first forming in 2016, becoming India’s first metal act to chart on Billboard, the group initially gained traction via uploading YouTube cover songs before harnessing their signature sound, and ultimately beginning their journey towards world domination. Releasing a new album Nu Delhi earlier this year, BLOODYWOOD gifted a searing love letter to Nu Delhi and its thriving music scene, with the album also boasting a memorable collab with BABYMETAL on the track Bekhauf. With inescapably charismatic songs sung in Hindi, Punjabi and English, sold-out tours and performances at the likes of Hellfest and Download Festival, BLOODYWOOD‘s long-awaited journey to Australia in 2026 will be the stuff heavy music dreams are made of.
