ALEXISONFIRE was last in Australia in February 2023 touring Otherness, the band’s first album in over a decade. Admired by local audiences, on their ninth visit, the five-piece will perform songs from an enduring catalogue spanning more than twenty years and five hugely successful studio albums; Alexisonfire (2002), Watch Out (2004), Canadian No.1 Crisis (2006), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals (2009).
The band’s legacy across Canada and the world cannot be overstated; from their 2001 inception in Ontario, five guys playing aggressive rock grew to a hockey-arena headlining phenomenon while pushing and pulling between spirited guitar leads, melodic might, and emotional weight. From opening to Blink 182 at Toronto’s Rogers Centre Stadium in August, to announcing on the 2025 instalment of When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas, Alexisonfire continue to dominate.
Renowned for their powerhouse live show, Alexisonfire have wowed audiences the world over with their unforgettable performances and iconic, timeless songs.
Visiting Australia for the first time since 2019, UNDEROATH’S anticipated return down under will see the band celebrate the 20th Anniversary of their seminal 2004 album They’re Only Chasing Safety, performing the record in its entirety along with an encore set.
The heart of Underoath’s sound, which delivers naked vulnerability with thrilling force and cinematic lushness, can be heard in generations of bands who’ve pursued their trail. The five-piece reinvents the balance between chaos and harmony with each release as their compositions, conjured from creative tension, become iconoclastic anthems.
Walking an artistic tightrope between immersive access and isolationist otherness, Underoath owns the space between huge choruses and forward-thinking heaviness, both on record and onstage.
Recently wrapping the European leg of their world tour, Underoath have played some of the biggest headline shows of their career. With new music on the way in 2025, the coming year is set to be one of epic proportions.
US outfit GEL is hardcore for the freaks. With last year’s album Only Constant, the band was credited by NME as “shaping the sound of hardcore in 2023”. Released in August, GEL’s 5-track Persona EP “keeps the unrelenting ferocity of their early work and adds bolder production and deeper hooks” (Pitchfork).
Music lovers, get ready to experience four mind-blowing live shows when Alexisonfire return to Australia in March 2025 with Underoath and GEL.
