Since first emerging from the underground with their distinctive blend of shoegaze, grunge, alternative rock and hardcore,
Fleshwater
have become one of the most talked-about bands in heavy music. This November, the Massachusetts outfit return to Australia for a national tour following a huge twelve months that has seen them release their acclaimed second album '
2000: In Search Of The Endless Sky
', tour extensively with
Deftones
across North America and performing at
Coachella
2026!
Their breakout single
Linda Claire
introduced audiences to a sound that felt both nostalgic and completely contemporary, drawing from the alternative rock and shoegaze movements of the 1990s while injecting it with a modern heaviness and emotional weight all of their own. Their 2022 debut album
We're Not Here To Be Loved
established the band as far more than a side project, earning a devoted international following and appearances at major festivals including
Lollapalooza
,
Riot Fest
,
Sound & Fury
and
Sick New World
. Armed with a new album and an even stronger live reputation, Fleshwater return to Australia for what promises to be their biggest local shows to date.
Joining them on all dates are Idaho wrecking crew
Ingrown
. With their self described 'gun-toting, dirt-bike-riding, hell-raising hardcore' Ingrown have rapidly become one of the most dangerous bands in American heavy music, with their latest album Idaho delivering a relentless barrage of riffs, aggression and attitude.
Opening the tour are Sydney's
Secret World
, whose mix of hardcore fury and rock'n'roll swagger has made them one of Australia’s most exciting emerging acts.
