Lorna Shore

American deathcore band Lorna Shore have spent more than 15 years redefining the boundaries of heavy music through a fusion of brutality, melody and cinematic scale. Formed in 2009, the band rose from underground acclaim to global prominence with Immortal and the breakthrough EP …And I Return to Nothingness, powered by Will Ramos’ extraordinary vocal range and the band’s emotionally charged intensity. Their sound blends searing aggression with orchestral atmosphere, culminating in 2025’s I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me.

Lorna Shore have amassed hundreds of millions of streams, chart success and a devoted international fanbase while touring alongside acts including Gojira, Mastodon and Parkway Drive. Their Australian headline debut in 2025 sold out entirely before acclaimed performances at Good Things Festival later that year.

SUPPORT

Whitechapel

American deathcore pioneers Whitechapel have spent nearly 2 decades shaping and evolving the genre since forming in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2006. Emerging with uncompromising brutality and dark thematic intensity, the band expanded their sound over time to include groove, melody and increasingly personal songwriting while maintaining the crushing heaviness at the core of their identity. Albums spanning The Somatic Defilement through to 2025’s Hymns in Dissonance showcase their enduring evolution and influence.

Whitechapel have earned chart success, critical acclaim and a reputation as one of deathcore’s defining acts, touring globally with artists including Cannibal Corpse, Trivium and Lorna Shore.

SUPPORT

The Acacia Stain

American heavy band The Acacia Strain have spent more than 2 decades delivering punishing heaviness, crushing breakdowns and nihilistic intensity. Formed in Massachusetts in the early 2000s, the band built a reputation through relentless touring and a genre-blurring sound that spans deathcore, sludge, hardcore and metalcore. Across 13 studio albums, including 2025’s You Are Safe From God Here, they continue to push chaos and atmosphere to devastating extremes.

The Acacia Strain have toured extensively with acts including Hatebreed, Architects and Every Time I Die, building a loyal global following through uncompromising live shows. Their performances channel raw aggression and overwhelming force, cementing their reputation as one of heavy music’s most punishing acts.
