After an 8-year hiatus from Australian stages, ILL NIÑO, the trailblazing Latin-influenced metal band that redefined heavy music, is set to return for a blistering run of shows across Australia. This long-awaited tour will feature special guests ADEMA.
ILL NIÑO, known for their explosive live performances and genre-defining fusion of heavy metal and Latin influences, will bring their unique sound to Australian venues in September 2025. The band’s return is highly anticipated, as they prepare to deliver a high-octane setlist filled with fan-favourite hits and new tracks. ILL NIÑO released their ground-breaking debut album Revolution Revolución in 2001. Whilst their sophomore album Confession boasting the U.S. smash hit single ‘How Can I Live’, hit the Billboard Top 40 and has gone on to sell over 600,000 copies.
Joining ILL NIÑO on their Australian journey, for the first time ever are U.S. Post-Grunge, Alternate Metal band Adema, who will bring their signature sound of hard-hitting electronic rock and nu-metal to the stage.
The two bands are set to deliver an evening of hyped-up intensity, bringing a mix of heavy riffs, Latin infused percussion, emotionally engaging lyrics, and powerful performances that will make this an unmissable experience.
