The band broke through to the mainstream with 1980’s Freedom of Choice, which contained the platinum-selling hit single, Whip It, and represented a peak in their songwriting. The video became an MTV smash, juxtaposing the band’s low-budget futuristic look against a down-home farm setting and hints of S&M.

Since first joining forces in the metro Detroit area back in the summer of 2013, I PREVAIL have made an immense impact on the world of alternative music and have quickly became one of rock’s biggest breakthrough bands. 2019’s Trauma took things to a whole new level while in 2022, they elevated themselves with the release of True Power.

Rising to an arena level status and receiving two Grammy Nominations — for Best Rock Album for Trauma and Best Metal Performance for their single, Bow Down, they are rising to the peak of the alternative music world and making major, undeniable waves beyond it and are kicking into a whole new gear.

After racking up over 100 million streams and receiving praise from Billboard, Rock Sound, Alternative Press, and more, THE PLOT IN YOU released their fifth album, Swan Song in 2021. Last year, the band’s 2018-released single FEEL NOTHING was officially certified Gold by the RIAA and the song is a digital success story that still streams over 2 million times and has enjoyed an exciting beyond-viral moment on TikTok. The track appears on the band’s album DISPOSE.

2023 marks PVRIS‘ most critically-acclaimed and exciting chapter. From Coachella, to Reading And Leeds, to Lollapalooza, Gunnulfsen has solidified PVRIS as an international touring phenomenon. Throughout her career, Gunnulfsen’s dynamic vocal abilities and instrumentation transcend effortlessly across her largely co-produced catalog, from enchanting and angelic harmonies, to aggressive and gritty deliveries that rival some of rock’s greatest.

Prolific five-piece MAGNOLIA PARK will be releasing their new album Halloween Mixtape II on October 27. It’s the follow up to 2022’s debut record Baku’s Revenge and spiritual counterpart to 2021’s Halloween Mixtape, Their kaleidoscopic fusion of sound is on display more than ever as their aesthetic is a contemporary fusion of magnetic pop, punk, nu-metal, hip-hop, phonk and 2000s theatre-emo.

TUESDAY 28 NOVEMBER – 170 RUSSELL, MELBOURNE
TUESDAY 5 DECEMBER – MANNING BAR, SYDNEY
WEDNESDAY 6 DECEMBER – THE GOV, ADELAIDE

Originally formed in Russia, the band made the bold decision to relocate to Florida, USA, in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war. Firmly standing against violence and conflict, they carry a strong message of unity and peace through their music.

Their relentless pursuit of metal domination has led them to conquer stages across the United States. From their electrifying headline tours in 2022 and 2023, which saw sold-out shows reverberating with their signature blend of aggression and melody, to headlining prestigious festivals such as So What in Dallas, Inkcarceration in Mansfield, and Blue Ridge in Alton.

Brace yourself for the reign of SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL the sonic architects of chaos.

WEDNESDAY 29 NOVEMBER – CROWBAR, SYDNEY

RIAA Gold-certified singer-songwriter ROYAL & THE SERPENT is an artist entirely unafraid to bare the deepest and darkest parts of her psyche. Originally from New Jersey, she first took up guitar at age 14 with help from the then-six-year-old sister of her friend Donna Missal then relocated to L.A. at age 18. Thanks to the buzz behind songs like 2019’s Weddings & Funerals and Salvador Dali—and to her electrifying live show—she eventually inked a deal with Atlantic.

Royal’s unfiltered songwriting has proved wildly resonant to her ever-growing fanbase and led to such triumphs as touring with Demi Lovato and making an appearance on the pop superstar’s latest full-length. She’s performed at major festivals like When We Were Young and Firefly and toured with artists like grandson and PVRIS. Made with producers like Zakk Cervini (Yungblud, Poppy), Keith Sorrells (Demi Lovato, Pink Sweat$), and David Dahlquist (Hayley Kiyoko, Pierce the Veil).
