Australian metalcore heroes Ocean Sleeper are returning to Adelaide next month with their Metalcore Christmas Special.

After holding a similar celebration in Brisbane last year, Ocean Sleeper are excited to share the festive cheer with their Adelaide fans at Lion Arts Factory on Saturday 19 December.

Fresh from the release of their sophomore album, Peace When I'm Dead, the lads are hitting the City of Churches with good mates Inertia, Heartline and blinder, with punters set for a high-energy night of heavy music.

"Adelaide! We are stoked to give you the 2026 Metalcore Christmas Special this Dec 19!!" Ocean Sleeper declared on social media.

Those keen on securing tickets early can sign up for the pre-sale here, which begins at 9am ACDT on Thursday 12 November. This is followed by the general on-sale at 9am ACDT on Friday 13 November via moshtix.com.au.

Keen to celebrate their wins with Adelaide metal fans, who have been big supporters of the band, Ocean Sleeper's Metalcore Christmas Special is shaping up to be one hell of a Christmas party you don't want to miss.
