WELCOME to another update on artists touring Australia. First up this time isn’t strictly a tour, but it is an event that’s never really been done before here in this country. HELLBOUND is an ocean cruise departing from Sydney in October 2026 that’s stacked to the gunwales with Australian acts. Parkway Drive will headline a showcase of heavy acts from our shores, with other top-billers on board including Polaris, In Hearts Wake, Make Them Suffer, Northlane and The Butterfly Effect. Piling on board will also be Belle Haven, Bloom, Reliqa, Ocean Sleeper, Diamond Construct, Windwaker, The Beautiful Monument, The Gloom in the Corner, To the Grave, Chez and Future Static. Tickets for this first-ever event go on sale on May 15, with further info available from the official website.
