Australian nu-metal trailblazers Testeagles are blasting back onto stages this October and November to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their jaw‑dropping debut album, Non Comprehendus. With electrifying riffs and digital ferocity, the Adelaide trio defined a generation – and their reformation is fueled entirely by fan demand.
Melbourne fans can catch them at Max Watts on 3 November 2025 – Melbourne Cup Eve.
After reuniting for a one-off set at Adelaide’s Froth & Fury festival last year – their first live show since 2008 -the response was explosive. It wasn’t just nostalgia; it was a call to arms. The public wanted more, and Testeagles aren’t ones to resist a good riff storm.
At one point, their return seemed impossible. Bassist ‘D’ faced significant health battles—but through sheer grit and determination, he’s defied the odds to make the comeback real.
Non Comprehendus hit #8 on the ARIA Charts, its hit “TTSU” landed at #66 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 in ’99, and their music videos were inescapable across TV. Ian McFarlane described Testeagles as mastering “thudding metal with electronic beats and samples to arrive at an intense brand of techno rock,” calling Non Comprehendus “the most visceral album to chart in the Australian Top 10 since the likes of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson.”
Joining them on the tour (except Gold Coast) is Melbourne’s rising trio Bushido, whose soaring melodies and crushing riffs are the perfect warm-up.
Dust off those camo shorts, don your blowfly sunnies, and relive the pit of 1999—the Testeagles are back, louder and more relentless than ever.
