2025 Promises Global Success for Adelaide Break-Out Band

Adelaide-based post-punk six-piece Coldwave has a huge year ahead.

The band has been steadily shoring up their reputation after the success of their debut EP Same Window, Different House in 2023, and their EP No Conflict, which followed soon after. With memorable performances at Laneway, BIGSOUND, and SXSW Sydney - and with the coveted honour of being named triple J Unearthed Feature Artist - Coldwave has marked themselves as an act to watch out for.

And 2025 only promises more excitement ahead for this evolving, experimental outfit.

This year will see Coldwave tour both the United Kingdom and the United States - a major feat for any band to pull off. The tour will commence on February 27th at Castle Hotel in Manchester, a historic, longstanding icon of live music festivities.

This tour of the UK will see the band play eight shows in total, including supporting acclaimed Norwegian post-punk band Pom Poko at The Garage, the iconic North London music venue and club - a venue that has enjoyed performances by the likes of Harry Styles, Jack White, and more.

Following these anticipated shows, Coldwave will travel to Texas to play at SXSW Austin, the lauded music conference festival - the largest of its kind in the world. Coldwave will run their must-see showcases in Austin from March 10th to March 15th.

To celebrate these upcoming successes and to bid their local audiences a (sweet and brief) farewell for now, Coldwave is hosting a massive send-off at the beloved Exeter beer garden on February 8th. With music from 5 pm to 8pm, they will be joined by folk wonder Ella Ion and punk five-piece Freegolf. This will be their last local show before their global adventures ensue - and thus it is not to be missed.

Tickets are now available to be purchased online.
