King 810 Headline Australian Tour 2026 With Guests The Gloom In The Corner & DREGG

In 2026, Michigan crushers KING 810 will head down under for their first ever Australian headline tour, set to roar onto shores next March joined by guests THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER and DREGG.

Kicking off on Wednesday 4 March in Adelaide, KING 810 will head to Melbourne, Sydney and Newcastle before concluding proceedings on Sunday 8 March in Brisbane.

Hailing from America’s Rust Belt, hardened nu-metal underdogs KING 810 have built a towering sonic reputation around themes of poverty, crime and the real-world experiences linked to their hometown of Flint, Michigan. Unleashing their debut album Memoirs of a Murderer in 2014, KING 810‘s maiden LP reached #18 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums charts and #8 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers charts, with the group since forging their own path as an independent band through numerous albums. Earlier this year, KING 810 unveiled two palpitating releases, Rustbelt Nu Metal and K7 Rustbelt Nu Metal 2, with both LPs captured in front of a live audience in compelling and rambunctious fashion, and a promised third album in the Rustbelt series still yet to come.

A band renowned for never holding back when it comes to their performances, KING 810 surge with chaos and intensity in a live setting, balanced with raw catharsis and an unwavering audience connection driven by lead vocalist David Gunn. And while often perceived as controversial due to the reality of their lives spent growing up on the streets of a deeply troubled city, the band’s balance of heavy discomfort and spiritual insight has led to them becoming seasoned festival performers, with the likes of Download Festival, Rock am Ring in their wake, along with their own acclaimed. headline shows and sharing stages with many of the scene’s elite, including Korn, Slipknot and Alpha Wolf. Previously appearing at the final edition of Soundwave in 2015, KING 810 also most recently toured Australia in 2024, supporting In Hearts Wake, with Everblack Media noting of their Brisbane support slot: “for a band who has not been to Australia in over 10 years, they certainly got a warm welcome back with the crowd moshing to every song”. But in 2026, it’s headline prime-time for the ferocious quartet; and KING 810 will not be pulling any punches.

Melbourne cinema-core mavericks THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER have spent years crafting a space for total sensory immersion, weaving intricate narratives into blistering metalcore and cinematic theatricality. Releasing their debut album Fear Me in 2016, THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER have since released multiple EPs and albums, with the band also most recently announcing their third full-length album Royal Discordance, due out in February 2026. A band in demand on stages around the globe, including Australia, Europe and North America, THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER have previously toured with the likes of AngelMaker, Wage War, Make Them Suffer and Aviana, and will also perform at the entirely sold out inaugural Hellbound Cruise in 2026 along with Parkway Drive, Polaris, Northlane and many more.

Blending a potent fusion of metal, hardcore and rap, delivered with lashings of theatricality and absudist humour, Melbourne’s DREGG fly the flag for embracing your inner weirdo and challenging the status quo while delivering unforgettable sonic wizardry in the process. Part South Park, part Rage Against The Machine, with a splash of Eminem flair, DREGG most recently released their 2024 sophomore album The Art Of Everything, and also inked a deal in 2025 with Fearless Records. With high profile fans like I Prevail lauding their creations and performances in their wake alongside Electric Callboy, Ocean Grove and Deez Nuts, 2026 is already shaping up to be yet another explosive year in the DREGG universe.
