The Bats Are Back

Dan Condon

Cancer Bats are set to rage harder than ever as they hit Australia's east coast this July.

More Cancer Bats Cancer Bats

It seems far too long since we got to see Cancer Bats hit Australia just for some good old fashioned headline shows, but the wait is almost over! Quite literally, they've just announced dates and they're not very far in the future at all!

This Canadian hardcore machine have just released their fourth record Dead Set On Living, another balls out collection of rollicking heavy as hell music that'll make you shriek with joy. Their modus opernadi is to play louder, rage harder and have more fun than any other band so they'll be asking you to go nuts when they make it back to our shores on the back of the aforementioned record.

You can witness the fury at the following shows:

Friday 13 July – The Hi-Fi, Brisbane
Saturday 14 July – The Hi-Fi, Melbourne
Sunday 15 July – Sydney, The Metro (all ages)

Tickets are on sale from 9am on Friday 8 June
