Texan metalcore heroes Memphis May Fire are touring Australia in 2026 alongside fellow ragers Blessthefall.
This tour shapes as one for the ages after Memphis May Fire sold out all five shows the last time they visited our shores, leaving more than 1,600 fans on waiting lists around the country unable to secure tickets.
“Seeing and hearing from so many fans that missed out is the main reason we wanted to come back as quickly as possible,” the band said in a statement. “We know it is going to be a very long time before we get to come back to Australia after this album cycle is done, and we didn't want to wait another 5 years to come back to make it up to them.”
To make things even more immense, Memphis May Fire are bringing along Arizona greats Blessthefall, who make their Australian return after nine long years. Both bands are playing headline sets, so expect over two hours of metalcore goodness.
The five-date tour takes in Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre on Friday 24 April, Sydney’s Manning Bar on Saturday 25 April, Brisbane’s Princess Theatre on Sunday 26 April, Adealide’s Lion Arts Factory on Tuesday 28 April and Perth’s Magent House on Wednesday 29 April.
Pre-sale kicks off on Friday 14 November at 9am AEDT, with general on-sale taking place on Monday 17 November at 9am AEDT. Ticketing information is available at thephoenix.au.
