American post-hardcore force Atreyu have announced a run of Australian shows to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their seminal sophomore album, The Curse.

A genre-defining record, The Curse propelled Atreyu into the rock mainstream and ended up topping the US Independent Albums Chart.

Co-headlining the Australian tour with Atreyu are metalcore act Memphis May Fire, who are currently preparing for the release of their new album Shapeshifter, which is set for release in 2025.

The tour takes place next July and commences in Brisbane at The Triffid on Wednesday, July 9. Atreyu and Memphis May Fire then perform at Sydney’s Manning Bar on Friday, July 11, Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre on Saturday, July 12 and Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory on Sunday, July 13, with the final gig of the tour at Perth’s Magnet House on Tuesday, July 15.

Pre-sale tickets are available at 8:30am local time this Friday, December 6. General public on-sale follows at 8:30am local time on Tuesday, December 10. For full ticketing information visit thephoenix.au.

Emerging in the late 90s as Retribution, the band changed its name to Atreyu and released two EPs – Visions and Fractures in the Facade of Your Porcelain Beauty – before signing with Victory Records in 2001.

While their 2002 debut Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses was well received, it was the 2004 follow-up The Curse that broke Atreyu, with the singles ‘Bleeding Mascara’, ‘Right Side of the Bed’ and ‘The Crimson’ establishing the band’s heavy rock meets metalcore sound.

Atreyu released three more albums before going on hiatus between 2011-2013. Since getting the band back together Atreyu has released four more records, including last year’s The Beautiful Dark of Life.

Catch Atreyu with Memphis May Fire at Lion Arts Factory on Sunday, July 13. For complete ticketing information visit thephoenix.au.
