I feel for Perth, but the IRON MAIDENS are touring all other mainland capitals in April 2020. I caught them last time and I was very impressed. Looking forward to seeing them again.

In welcome news, JINJER have added Adelaide and Canberra shows to the tour in March 2020. New tour poster below. Get on it.

In unfortunate news, METALLICA have postponed their Australian tour, originally scheduled for later this year, due to James entering rehab. Get well soon, James.

As the title suggests, ex-KYUSS frontman JOHN GARCIA is headed to Australia in January 2020 to tour, including Adelaide. More info below.

Another tour to catch is JINJER, the Ukrainian groove metal wrecking machine. Check a video and all the bizzo below.
