Along with their appearance at next year’s Froth & Fury Fest in Adelaide, Canadian hardcore heavyweights Cancer Bats have announced an expansive tour across Australia.

Cancer Bats are playing their first shows on our shores since 2024, touring in support of their latest album, Give Me Dirt, released in August, and playing fan favourites from across their career.

In addition to Froth & Fury, the band will perform at another festival in Melbourne and on the Sunshine Coast, BAT FEST. Cancer Bats and tour promoters Destroy All Lines programmed the special mini festival.

Headlined by the Canadian heavyweights, the line-ups also feature Mannequin Death Squad, Totally Unicorn, Blood Oath (Melbourne only), a local competition winner on the Sunshine Coast, and a special guest to join both dates.
