Hailing from Scranton, Pennsylvania and forming in the mid 2000s, Motionless In White are in command of over one billion cumulative streams and views to date, along with four consecutive Top 5 album debuts on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums chart and Top Rock Albums chart, via 2014's Reincarnate, 2017's Graveyard Shift, 2019's Disguise and, most recently, 2022's Scoring The End Of The World.

Comprising of Chris Motionless (vocals), Ricky Olson (guitar), Ryan Sitkowski (guitar), Vinny Mauro (drums) and Justin Morron (bass), Motionless In White have built a staggering reputation for their live performance, with their larger-than-life production, technicality and dynamic delivery finding them in hot demand over the years, previously performing alongside Slipknot, Korn, Lamb of God, Bring Me The Horizon and countless other stalwart names in the heavy scene. And most recently igniting Australian stages in 2022 supporting I Prevail, Motionless In White's performance was praised by The Live Wire as "an absolute banger of a set", also declaring "their return cannot come soon enough, and likely a headline tour."

Two indisputable rock icons will join forces in 2026, with American chart-toppers Shinedown and British alternative legends Bush teaming up for a massive co-headline tour this September, with the tour also marking Shinedown's first performances down under in over 15 years.

A band well-versed in making history, Shinedown formed in the early 2000s and have since gone on to generate over 8.3 billion streams, while also ticking off a record-breaking 24 #1 rock hits, 15 platinum and gold singles, platinum or gold certification for all of their albums, and major media acclaim along the way. With their reputation for weaving timely and honest messages into their chart-smashing songs, Shinedown are a rarity in the modern scene, resonating both with their global audience and the rock community, as well as culture at large. Set to expand yet again beyond their quintessential hits like Second Chance, Sound of Madness and MONSTERS in 2026, Shinedown will release their eighth studio album, EI8HT, on May 29, with the follow up to 2022's Planet Zero described by frontman Brent Smith as the group pushing themselves "like never before".

With over 15 years having now passed since the group have graced Australian crowds, Shinedown's return in 2026 will undeniably showcase to audiences down under why The Rockpit declared of their 2025 Minneapolis performance: "they are the best rock band touring right now in the United States...if you are someone who loves rock shows and enjoy watching a band take over an arena, Shinedown is a must see."

A genre-defining act whose accolades spans commercial success, over a billion global streams and a Grammy Award nomination, London-hailing tour de force BUSH have spent over three decades both shaping and furthering modern rock. Instantly gripping airwaves in 1994 with their debut album Sixteen Stone, BUSH went on to blaze charts, including #5 in Australia, and also introduced the world to some of the most iconic anthems of the 1990s, from Glycerine to Machinehead and Comedown; all of which became staples in pop culture, while still resonating to this very day. Nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 1998 Grammy Awards for their power ballad Swallowed, BUSH are now in command of ten studio albums, including their most recent full-length, 2025's I Beat Loneliness, and continue their legacy as innovators and powerhouse creators without sacrificing their core trademark sound.

LANY - soft world tour

Sunday, 22 November 2026, 6 – 10pm

LA-based alt-rock duo LANY return to Australia this October and November as part of the  soft world tour.

Tallying billions of streams, selling out legendary arenas, and earning widespread critical acclaim, platinum-certified group LANY consistently deliver rafter-reaching anthems anchored by airtight songcraft and the outsized personality of enigmatic frontman and songwriter Paul Jason Klein.

Fresh off the back of their latest release Soft, the album marks a defining moment in the band’s personal and professional lives. Writing the album just weeks after a serious accident that saw Paul wake up in an ambulance, the project solidifies a sonic identity that is simultaneously incredibly fresh and peculiarly familiar (another dichotomy that defines the record).

Its subsequent deluxe edition Soft 2 - released just last week - serves as the project’s “Part 2”, showcasing the contrast of hard and soft with tangible, literal, physical hardness, juxtaposed with metaphorical, relational (and, at times too, physical) softness.

A Perfect Circle

Tuesday, 8 December 2026, 5:45 – 10pm

A Perfect Circle confirm return to Australia, with special guest Puscifer.

American rock band A Perfect Circle, formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan, will tour Australia and New Zealand in December. It will mark their first visit to Australian shores since 2013, and a return to New Zealand following a 22-year absence!

A Perfect Circle fans have been waiting in anticipation for an announcement following the unveiling of a massive European tour last year, the band's first headline outing since 2018. The tour kicks off June 3 in London, U.K. at the city's O2 Academy in Brixton and wraps up at Mad Cool Festival on July 10 in Madrid. The run consists of both headline shows and festival appearances around the continent!
