Finland is home to some of the greatest heavy metal acts on the planet, including the powerful six-piece Battle Beats, who are touring Australia in 2026 for the very first time.

Inspired by ‘80s hard rock and riff-heavy metal, Battle Beast are known for their soaring anthems that are delivered live “with all the force of a category nine hurricane.”

“We're beyond excited to finally bring our beastly sound to the land of endless horizons and killer crowds,” says incredible frontwoman Noora Louhimo. “Australia's metal scene has been calling to us for years – get ready for a night of pure escapism, headbanging fury, and memories that'll last a lifetime!”

Battle Beast’s Australian tour takes over Perth’s Magnet House on Tuesday 10 March and continues with dates at Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory on Wednesday 11 March, Melbourne’s Max Watts on Friday 13 March, Sydney’s Manning Bar on Saturday 14 March and Brisbane’s Crowbar on Sunday 15 March.

Pre-sale tickets are available on Friday 24 October at 9:00am AEST, with general on-sale kicking off on Monday 27th October at 9:00am AEST. For full ticketing info, visit thephoenix.au.

Battle Beast have amassed multiple platinum-selling albums across Europe, sold out tours worldwide and shared stages with the likes of Sabaton and Nightwish, who even covered a Battle Beast song live!

Formed in 2008, the current lineup consists of OG members Juuso Soinio (rhythm guitar), Pyry Vikki (drums), Eero Sipilä (bass, backing vocals) and Janne Björkroth (keytar, backing vocals) alongside Noora Louhimo (lead vocals) and Joona Björkroth (lead guitar, backing vocals).

After almost two decades of bringing the noise to audiences across the globe, Battle Beats are thrilled to finally be performing in Australia next year in support of their seventh studio album, Steelbound.
