Parkway Drive will bring their own festival, Park Waves, to Australia in early 2026.
On Tuesday (8 July), the band, tour promoters Destroy All Lines and Park Waves, announced the dates and venues for the inaugural event, revealing that it will stop in eleven locations across the country in February and March 2026. At the time of publication, the line-up hasn’t arrived, but we expect it to be unveiled soon.
Starting at Perth’s Langley Park on Saturday, 14 February, the festival will visit metro and regional spots across the country—flashing back to Parkway Drive’s All Aussie Adventure Tour in 2016—including Adelaide, Geelong, Scoresby, Bendigo, Wollongong, Eastern Creek, Maitland, Toowoomba, Byron Bay (subject to final council approval), and wrapping up in Sandstone Point, Queensland on Sunday, 15 March. You can view all the dates and venues below.
The save the date announcement arrived with a call to register for the line-up and pre-sale details via the Park Waves festival website.
Park Waves made its debut in Dresden, Germany, in 2024. It was curated as a mini-festival featuring Parkway Drive as headliners, along with acts such as Dying Fetus, Fit For A King, Erra, and fellow Aussie outfits Thy Art Is Murder and Alpha Wolf.
The inaugural Australian edition was teased on social media on Sunday (6 July), with Destroy All Lines telling punters to “get ready for the next wave.”

The Park Waves announcements arrive after Parkway Drive recently became the first metalcore band to headline the Sydney Opera House with a symphonic orchestra. The band have been busy—they’re currently in the US co-headlining the Summer Of Loud festival tour and continue their 20th anniversary run across Europe.
The Music’s Alasdair Belling described the Sydney Opera House show last month as a “total, unforgettable triumph,” following the news that Hellbound, the first-ever metal cruise heading to Australia next October, headlined by Parkway Drive, sold out in just seven minutes.
