The Amity Affliction are putting on a special, one-night-only show in support of their new album, House of Cards, in Australia this year.

Of course, the Aussie metalcore titans recently embarked on an expansive regional tour across the country, but that was before their new album was released. The only Australian headline show in support of the album will take place on Saturday, 12 December, at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt.

Performing as part of the venue’s On The Steps program – presented by Live Nation – the show at one of Australia’s most picturesque venues caps off a busy year for the band.

Mastercard cardholders will have special access to pre-sale tickets, which open on Wednesday, 29 April, at 10 am local time. Additionally, Mastercard cardholders will have access to preferred tickets from Friday, 1 May. Head to the Priceless website for more information.

Following the Mastercard pre-sale, My Live Nation members can access pre-sale tickets on Thursday, 30 April, at 10 am local time. The general sale opens on Friday, 1 May, at 11 am local time – find out more at the Live Nation website.

The Amity Affliction’s latest album, House of Cards, was released last Friday (24 April). Featuring singles such as the title track, Bleed, and Kickboxer, the record is the band’s first to feature new co-vocalist and bassist, Jonny Reeves.

According to the band, House of Cards is an album that acknowledges trauma and seeks to examine it through a new perspective on life and human relationships. Throughout the album, frontman Joel Birch digs into his relationship with his mother and siblings. Check out the album below.

In addition to their 2026 touring plans, The Amity Affliction were recently announced as one of the top-billed acts on the second voyage of the second Hellbound metal cruise, taking place in January 2027. They’ll perform alongside their peers, Parkway Drive, I Killed The Prom Queen, Alpha Wolf, Thy Art Is Murder, and many others.

House of Cards arrives after the band has already earned five ARIA #1 albums, over one billion streams, and amassed sold-out tours in domestic and international markets.
