Extreme metal heavyweights Lorna Shore are returning to Australia in 2026 with their biggest headline tour in the region to date, kicking things off with a massive Melbourne show at John Cain Arena on 16 October.
The New Jersey band will tour across Australia and New Zealand throughout October, marking their first ever performances across the Tasman and signalling just how far the group has risen beyond deathcore’s underground roots.
After selling out Australian headline dates in 2025 and appearing on the lineup for Good Things Festival later that year, the 2026 run sees the band stepping into significantly larger venues, reflecting the growing appetite for heavier music across mainstream touring circuits.
Australian fans will also get support sets from Whitechapel and The Acacia Strain, while New Zealand shows will feature local death metal act Organectomy.
Formed in 2009, Lorna Shore have spent more than 15 years evolving through multiple iterations of heavy music, blending blackened deathcore with symphonic arrangements, cinematic production and technical brutality. Their breakthrough arrived in 2021 with viral single To The Hellfire, which pushed vocalist Will Ramos into global online conversation thanks to his now instantly recognisable vocal style.
Since then, albums including Pain Remains and 2025’s I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me have continued the band’s rapid rise.
Artist pre-sale begins Thursday 28 May, with general public tickets on sale Wednesday 3 June via the Destroy All Lines website.
