CHIODOS, the post-hardcore band from Michigan, will be in Australia in November.
It’s their first time in Down Under in 10 years and they’ll be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album All’s Well That Ends Well. The Antipodean trek begins in Brisbane on November 21 and concludes in Perth a week later.
Support will come from US act Rain City Drive and Melbourne’s The Beautiful Monument.
Chiodos formed in 2001 and was co-founded by frontman Craig Owens. All’s Well That Ends Well featured tracks including “Baby You Wouldn’t Last a Minute on the Creek” and “The Words ‘Best Friend’ Become Redefined,” the latter of which received RIAA Gold certification.
Owens re-recorded the album in full in 2025 for the anniversary.
The band has released four studio albums. Bone Palace Ballet (2007) reached number one on the Billboard Rock chart and number five on the Billboard 200.
Later records include Illuminaudio (2010) and Devil (2014). After a hiatus, Chiodos returned in 2024 with an appearance at the When We Were Young festival, followed by sold-out shows that included a performance at the Hollywood Palladium.
Their latest single is “TAPDAT.”
Rain City Drive, from Florida, released their debut album To Better Days in 2020. The record has accumulated 40 million streams. The band has more than one million monthly listeners on Spotify, has charted on Billboard, and has appeared in SiriusXM Octane rotation.
They have toured with Dance Gavin Dance, Our Last Night, Set It Off, From Ashes To New and Memphis May Fire and collaborated with Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker.
Rain City Drive completed their first Australian headline tour earlier this year.
The Beautiful Monument released their debut album I’m The Sin in 2017. Their third studio album, Euphoric Thriller, is scheduled for release on August 7.
The band has supported Evanescence, Escape The Fate and Short Stack, and promotes the message that “it’s okay not to be okay.”
