Following a huge tour of the country last year, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have confirmed they will return to Australia in 2018 for another run.

The UK punk-rockers will head back in February for shows in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, where Aussie fans will get to hear tracks of their January-released album, Modern Ruin, for the first time. 

Joining the band at all stops of the tour will be very special guests and Canadian heavyweights, Cancer Bats.

Carter said of the Australian tour, "I want complete carnage, but I don't want anybody to get actually injured – if that makes sense".
