Australia, come wake the demon this October when British mainstays BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE return down under for their biggest ever Australian headline tour, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album The Poison as well as a horde of fan-favourites, joined by special guests WHILE SHE SLEEPS (UK) and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (USA).

Commencing on Wednesday 15 October in Melbourne, this epic arena run will journey to Sydney on Thursday 16 October and close out on Saturday 18 October in Brisbane, with each show also switching up supports and alternating slots each night between WHILE SHE SLEEPS and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA.

Forming in the late 90s, Welsh behemoths BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE went on to become an unwavering pillar for metal and British music in general, releasing their debut album The Poison in 2005 and never looking back. Between their 2008 album Scream Aim Fire and 2010 third full-length Fever, through to their most recent outing, 2021's self-titled album, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE have also amassed over 3.5 million album sales to date and counting, while also ticking off sold out performances across the globe, multiple award wins and nominations, ongoing chart success, a legion of diehard fans worldwide and plenty of hits spanning decades; many of which will be on full display for Australian fans this October.

On a live front, whether performing with Megadeth and Avenged Sevenfold, or commanding attention on festival stages including Download Festival, Rock am Ring and Good Things Festival closer to home, it's little wonder The Guardian recently showcased BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE's "laser-driven performance", while New Noise Magazine praised the band for "demonstrating why they're one of the modern metalcore legends" during the group's most recent North American tour.

Surging off the release of their 2010 EP The North Stands For Nothing, English metalcore act WHILE SHE SLEEPS have evolved into an era-defining metal band. With infectious hooks, a punk attitude and seething metal balanced with injections of pop, electronics and conscious lyrics over the years, WHILE SHE SLEEPS have never been a band phased by expectations; and they have the legacy and ongoing adoration to prove it. A defiantly DIY act, WHILE SHE SLEEPS established their own label, self-manage, demo and produce their own material, and also build their own stage propps that have followed them on blockbuster tours throughout five continents. Most recently releasing their sixth studio album Self Hell in 2024, WHILE SHE SLEEPS' return to Australia this October will offer fans a chance to witness new and old favourites while also taking in the magnetic live performance that has seen the band in demand both as headliners and supporting the likes of Architects, Asking Alexandria and Parkway Drive.

One of the most beloved metalcore acts in the scene, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA have remained a continual force since forming back in 2005. With six consecutive Top 5 debuts on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, including 2011's Dead Throne, 2013's 8:18, 2015's Space EP, 2016's Transit Blues, 2019's The Act and 2021's ZII EP, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA also cemented their status in 2009 via the seminal With Roots Above and Branches Below, which was dubbed one of the "5 Greatest Metalcore Albums" in a Revolver poll, and christened by the magazine as "a true metalcore landmark". With over a quarter of a billion cumulative streams and views under their belts, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA are equally revered for their onstage performances, with their live shows renowned for endless energy and sweltering dexterity. Most recently performing down under in 2024 supporting Alpha Wolf nationally, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA will also arrive armed with some recent new singles this October.

As anyone who has seen BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE live in action previously will attest to, a live show from these British juggernauts is an experience befitting the group's roaring sonic output; and Australia, it's your turn again this October, complete with WHILE SHE SLEEPS and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA!
