One of the most in-demand acts in modern alternative music, Swedish violincore pioneers IMMINENCE announce their return to Australian shores, set to bewitch crowds across the country with a headline run this October.
Ticking off their debut headline tour down under later this year, IMMINENCE will commence proceedings on Friday 10 October in Brisbane, before heading to Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, and closing out in Perth on Wednesday 15 October.
A band bound to weaving their own unique sonic universe, pushing alternative metalcore into astonishing terrains that few could dream of, IMMINENCE have spent over a decade crafting their trademark take on the heavy realms. Blending classical string arrangements with the influence of ferocious Scandinavian metal, the ever-growing IMMINENCE success story spans millions of streams and online followers, performances at some of the biggest heavy festivals on the planet, and entirely sold out shows of their own, including their standalone Good Things Festival headline sideshows in Australia last year that sold out in record time.
Boasting an elegant ferocity that obliterates any genre confines, IMMINENCE have delivered fluctuating masterpieces over the years, from their debut 2014 album I, through to 2017's This Is Goodbye, 2019's Turn the Light On, 2021's Heaven In Hiding and 2024's The Black. 2024 also saw the band re-record their debut LP I for its 10th anniversary, releasing The Reclamation of I, while 2025 saw the group unveil The Return of The Black, expanding on the global triumph that was 2024's The Black with re-mastered versions and a star-studded lineup of guest musicians for this special extended edition.
With IMMINENCE's signature style, aptly dubbed violincore by fans, there is no surprise that a live IMMINENCE experience is packed full of palpitating moments, balancing violin virtuosity with sprawling heaviness, enigmatic theatricality and raw intimacy, with Wall of Sound enthusing of their 2024 Australian performance that "if you weren't touched by the heartfelt yet brutish screams, you were entranced by the swiping bow sending majestic screeches throughout the venue".
While the Swedish maestros performed for the first time in Australia last year as part of Good Things Festival, their hotly-anticipated return to our shores this year will bring the full IMMINENCE headline experience. And with appearances locked for a horde of festivals before they return down under, including Hellfest, 2000trees Festival, Louder Than Life Festival and Aftershock, IMMINENCE's touring history over the years has also seen them share stages with giants of the heavy scene, including Bring Me The Horizon, Architects, In Flames and many more.
Offering a performance truly like no other, it's little wonder that IMMINENCE's previous Aussie sideshows sold out in record time. Don't miss your chance to witness the IMMINENCE magic as part of their first ever full Australian headline tour this October.
