Cancer Bats, Kingdom Of Sorrow, This Is Hell Announce Melbourne Sideshow

Yup, just the one

More Cancer Bats Cancer Bats Profile

Fans in Melbourne who have been waiting for the return of Cancer Bats following their previously postponed July 2012 tour can finally see the Canadian punk rockers when they play a Soundwave sideshow at the Reverence Hotel, accompanied by fellow Soundwave-bound Kingdom Of Sorrow and This Is Hell.

Built on a reputation of raging hardcore punk rock, Cancer Bats will bring their four-record repertoire to Melbourne, including last year's release Dead Set on Living, joined by the equally massive Kingdom Of Sorrow, the supergroup, consisting of members of Hatebreed, Down and more, also ready to rock out after a recent release of powerful record Behind The Blackest Tears.



Long Island's This is Hell are set to release their 4-track EP The Enforcer right in time for Soundwave and are also ready to thrash with Aussie fans, bringing along metal tunes from their 4 records this month.

With Soundwave sold out, this may be your last chance to catch these acts. Tickets are on sale tomorrow, Wednesday 13 February.
