Parkway Drive announce 20 year anniversary tour

Australian metalcore titans Parkway Drive have announced a massive 20 Year Anniversary Tour. On their biggest headline tour to date, the Byron Bay five-piece will hit stadiums and arenas across the country alongside special guests I Prevail (USA), The Ghost Inside (USA) and Void of Vision.

The tour kicks off in Brisbane and hits Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide before wrapping up at Perth’s HBF Stadium on Sunday, September 29.

“Australia, it’s been a while. To be honest, it feels like forever,” said Parkway Drive’s Winston McCall. “We didn’t plan it to be this way, but then again, we didn’t plan on making it this far in the first place. So here it is, we’re finally back, with the biggest headlining tour we have done, anywhere, ever, full stop. A celebration of a 20-year journey, of the roads we have walked through, the generations, to the path we still define, our own. 20 years, through blood, sweat and tears. Still Australian, still unbreakable. Australia, turn the fuck up and make us proud. This is one for the history books.”

Formed in Byron Bay in 2003, Parkway Drive now have seven full-length albums in their wake, including three consecutive #1 releases on the ARIA Albums Chart courtesy of 2015’s Ire, 2018’s Reverence, and most recently, 2022’s Darker Still. With six of their albums certified Gold in Australia and multiple ARIA wins under their belts, the five-piece have also garnered worldwide chart success, cementing their status as a festival-headlining behemoth alongside three documentaries, a live album, millions of streams, and thousands of live performances.

Platinum-certified and twice Grammy-nominated Michigan rock powerhouse I Prevail will return down under this September to unleash their towering wares Australia-wide. An arena-level band, I Prevail have racked up billions of streams, close to 400 million views on YouTube, and toured the globe extensively.

Forming in California, The Ghost Inside have survived and thrived since erupting onto the scene with their 2008 debut album, Fury and the Fallen Ones. Blending the new wave of metalcore with driving punk hues, The Ghost Inside cleave aggressive sounds with thoughtful thematics and melodics, and are set to release their sixth album, Searching for Solace, this April.

Void of Vision have been one of the most innovative and sonically explosive acts in the modern heavy scene for over a decade. The Melbourne band will arrive in Perth following performances at Knotfest alongside Slipknot, Parkway Drive, and Megadeth and the release of their most recent single, Angel of Darkness. 

Parkway Drive’s 20 Year Anniversary Tour hits HBF Stadium on Sunday, September 29, 2024. Tickets are on sale Thursday, March 28 from destroyalllines.com
