After announcing their debut Australian tour but leaving Adelaide off their itinerary, Finnish doom metal purveyors Swallow the Sun have made amends and revealed they are heading to the City of Churches in January 2026.

For more than two decades, Swallow the Sun have been at the forefront of Finland’s doom metal scene, with their highly anticipated upcoming tour arriving in support of their latest album, Shining.

Released in 2024, Shining was produced by Dan Lancaster (Bring Me the Horizon, Muse, Enter Shikari) and featured a more commercial edge than the band’s previous releases.

Touching down in Australia in January 2026, Swallow the Sun kick off their tour at Perth’s The Rosemount on Saturday 17 January. The band then hits Adelaide’s Ed Castle on Sunday 18 January, Canberra’s The Baso on Thursday 22 January, Sydney’s The Underground on Friday 23 January and Brisbane’s Soapbox for Immeasurable Darkness IV on Saturday 24 January, with their final show of the tour taking place at Melbourne’s The Corner Hotel on Sunday 25 January.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now via swallowthesun.net.
