Lamb of God and Trivium will tour Australia in October 2026 on a five‑city co‑headline run, with Glasgow firebrands Bleed From Within as special guests.
The run opens in Perth on October 2 and closes in Brisbane on October 11.
Forged in basement shows and DIY venues in Richmond, Virginia, the impact and enduring legacy of LAMB OF GOD since forming in the mid 90s is nothing short of legendary. Renowned for their role in helping shape the new wave of American heavy metal, LAMB OF GOD have commanded global attention for decades, touring the globe, selling millions of records, ticking off five GRAMMY Award-nominations and retaining a perpetual presence with new music to join their monumental back catalogue in the process. Between evergreen favourites like Laid to Rest, Redneck, Walk with Me in Hell and Now You've Got Something to Die For, and, most recently, new material courtesy of their latest LP, 2026's Into Oblivion, LAMB OF GOD's razor-sharp fusion of grooves, metal mayhem and raucous energy is eternally showing no signs of slowing down.
Equally as prolific in a live setting as they are in the studio, LAMB OF GOD's touring rap sheet reads like a metalhead's fever dream, spanning everyone from Slayer through to Metallica, Megadeth, Slipknot and countless more. Most recently performing for Australian crowds in 2024 as part of Knotfest Australia, LAMB OF GOD's Melbourne headline sideshow at the time garnered praise from The Rockpit, declaring "Lamb Of God do it better than most; in fact tonight's show was a playbook that every new and younger band needs to study". With 2026 set to tick off the band's first full tour run down under in close to a decade, the groove metal godfathers are set to make a glorious return this October.
One of the most innovative and influential bands to emerge via the American South's heavy metal explosion in the early 21st century, TRIVIUM's metamorphosis from metalcore outfit into a genre chimera and global sensation has been nothing short of formidible since their formation in Florida back in 1999. With their restless and provocative creative DNA, TRIVIUM have splice styles spanning thrash through to prog, technical and melodic death metal, along with healthy jolts of alternative and groove metal. Raising the bar for metal with each new release, the 2017 single Betrayer earned TRIVIUM a GRAMMY Award-nomination, with the band also in command of several Billboard 200 top 20 hits, #1 debuts on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart and an ever-growing fanbase across the world.
Genuine "road dogs", renowned for paving their success the old-fashioned way, aka touring, TRIVIUM's live show is best described as a masterclass; a scene-stealing experience in any venue, country, time or space that has seen them relentlessly tour throughout their career, including with the likes of Iron Maiden, Metallica, Machine Head and Slipknot. Last down under in 2023 as part of Knotfest Australia's inaugural year, TRIVIUM's Brisbane headline sideshow had Wall Of Sound praise: "Trivium are certainly at the top of their game and so very much deserve their place in the metal genre. We all talk about bands back in the day who are still amazing after all these years and these boys will be spoken about for years and years to come."
Glasgow metal pioneers BLEED FROM WITHIN have spent 20 years sharpening their signature blend of metalcore, towering riffs, hypnotic grooves, breakdowns and beyond. Starting life as a deathcore band, BLEED FROM WITHIN have since evolved into an unstoppable force, also routinely renowned for incorporating nods to their motherland with bagpipes woven into their sonic landscape. Most recently unleashing their seventh studio album Zenith in 2025, BLEED FROM WITHIN have firmly secured their place as one of the UK's most respected metal bands. BLEED FROM WITHIN's unforgettable live show has seen them in demand sharing stages around the world with everyone from Slipknot through to Bullet For My Valentine, Megadeth and more.
Two titans of modern metal will collide for an unforgettable co-headline run this October, don't miss LAMB OF GOD and TRIVIUM when they return in 2026!
