Fresh off their sold-out black-tie performance at the Sydney Opera House, Australian metal heavyweights Parkway Drive are raising the bar once again with the announcement of the inaugural Australian Park Waves Festival.

Park Waves Festival made its debut last year in Dresden, Germany (July 6, 2024), with Parkway Drive leading a powerful lineup alongside Dying Fetus, Fit For a King, Erra, and fellow Aussies Thy Art Is Murder and Alpha Wolf.

The festival isn’t just another heavy music tour, it’s being touted as a sensory spectacle. Combining the energy of a music festival with the thrill of a traveling carnival, Park Waves promises circus performers, carnival rides, gourmet food trucks, and a full day of chaos, community, and catharsis for fans aged 16 and up.

This groundbreaking 11-date traveling festival, a first of its kind in Australia, will showcase an all-Australian lineup headlined and curated by Parkway Drive, featuring some of the biggest names in heavy music.

For its Australian debut, Parkway Drive is teaming up with renowned promoters Destroy All Lines (the minds behind Good Things Festival and Hellbound Cruise) to deliver a stacked lineup.

Supporting acts include heavy music giants The Amity Affliction, Northlane, and Alpha Wolf, along with special guests Story of the Year and more to be announced. Excitingly, this marks the first time Parkway Drive and The Amity Affliction will tour together, a historic moment for the Australian heavy music scene.

The festival kicks off on February 14th at Langley Park in Perth before stopping in cities like Adelaide, Geelong, Wollongong, and Sydney, as well as a special hometown performance for Parkway Drive in Byron Bay. The epic run will conclude on March 15th on the Sunshine Coast.
