Boston's Doomriders are heading to Australia this July for their first ever trip down under and have now announced local supports for all dates.Doomriders are sonically antisocial and undeniably unforgettable as they come. Comprised of a stellar lineup starring Converge bassist Nate Newton on guitar and vocals alongside longtime friends Jebb Riley (Disappearer), Chris Pupecki (Cast Iron Hike), and new drummer Q (Clouds), Doomriders are a rare beast in today’s music world. The demon child of their collective unhealthy obsession with classic rock, hardcore, and skateboarding, their soulful no frills approach conjures the spirits of Thin Lizzy's guitar harmonies and Motörhead's high-octane grime, making Doomriders approach one hell of a rebellious and exciting musical ride.The band will be touring with Canberra’s I Exist, this being their first tour off the back of their new album "II: The Broken Passage".

The Melbourne date of the upcoming Anberlin Australia tour that was set to take place on Sunday August 28 has now changed to Monday August 29, still at the same venue, the Palace Theatre. Tickets for the show will be on sale from Friday July 1. In 2005, shortly after the release of their second album Never Take Friendship Personal, we saw Anberlin hit our shores for the first time playing modest rooms and not knowing quite what to expect. While the rooms were small they were always full and each person who witnessed the incredible live show became a fan for life. A love affair between the five young Florida natives and their Australian audience was born. That initial connection has not waned in all the years since and with each album and tour bigger and stronger than the last, Anberlin’s loyal fan base has continued to grow.
