American hardcore band, The Ghost Inside, are making up for the shows they didn’t get to play with Parkway Drive in Melbourne and Sydney over the weekend, announcing a pop-up show to take place tonight at Melbourne venue Stay Gold.

For shows at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena and Melbourne’s John Cain Arena, fans were notified that The Ghost Inside and Aussie band Void Of Vision’s sets had been cancelled due to “production delays.”

A noticeboard at the venues read: “The entire Parkway Drive and Destroy All Lines teams have worked tirelessly to deliver the most incredible show possible tonight.

“Unfortunately, due to production delays out of our control, The Ghost Inside and Void Of Vision will not be taking the stage. Please show your love by buying a Tee and following them on their socials.

“Love from Parkway Drive.”

The Ghost Inside announced the pop-up show on their Instagram last night, writing:

“We are as bummed as you to have missed the last two shows with PWD so instead of a day off we’ll be ripping a gig at Stay Gold in Melbourne. Tickets available in the morning from @destroyalllines, they’re gonna go quick and this is going to be a very cool one of a kind show. See you there!”

Tickets go on sale at 10 am today for just $34 via Oztix.

In a recent interview with The Music, Parkway Drive’s Winston McCall said the 20th-anniversary tour consists of a “new show” with a unique setlist. “The challenge for us was maximising the opportunity and leaning into the moment.”

On what the shows would deliver, he continued, “The thing for us was, how do we make it feel personal? How do we make it personal in a way that's closer than it's ever been, but at the same point in time, create something that is in line with our artistic, visual aesthetic and sonic capabilities that marry those two very polar opposites together? Everything we do sonically these days and everything we do visually is 20 years removed from a youth centre show, and we have no desire to be anything less.

“I want to create something that is uniquely Parkway, which encapsulates everything from that feeling of someone being directly in your face and that everyday person that people meet on the street, but also that sense of like, ‘This is the most insane thing I've ever seen in my entire life,’ and putting those things right next to each other. That's the challenge that we set ourselves, and I think it's what we've achieved.”
