Australia and New Zealand, big things are coming! In 2026, two heavyweights will head down under for a colossal arena run, with Florida hybrid heavies A DAY TO REMEMBER and California mainstays PAPA ROACH joining forces for the BIG ROCK TOUR next April, joined by special guests LANDMVRKS.
Set to commence on Saturday 4 April in Perth, A DAY TO REMEMBER and PAPA ROACH will journey the BIG ROCK TOUR through Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane arenas.
Since forming in the early 2000s, A DAY TO REMEMBER have formidably shaped and expanded the musical landscape, with their signature blend of potent pop punk and heaving metalcore catapulting them from the underground into international headliner status; and an enduring, ever-growing global fanbase rapidly rising to match.
Pioneers of pop-mosh and one of the true linchpins in the alternative scene, A DAY TO REMEMBER's commercial acclaim and chameleonic creativity has defied expectations and preconceived notions of what it means to be a rock band in the 21st century, with each of the ADTR's eight full-length albums rocketing to #1 on the Billboard Rock, Indie and/or Alternative Charts upon release, along with one platinum album, two gold albums, one platinum single, and four gold singles. With nearly 2 billion worldwide streams in their wake, and sales over three million units, A DAY TO REMEMBER's sweltering commercial triumphs are equally matched by their indelible live performances, capable of stupefying packed arenas around the world with unforgettable cuts including The Downfall Of Us All, All I Want and All My Friends.
Having shared stages over the years with Yellowcard, Falling In Reverse, New Found Glory and Parkway Drive amongst countless others, A DAY TO REMEMBER have spent 2025 extensively on the road, including headlining in the UK, Europe and North America, and performing at Knotfest Australia, Slam Dunk Festival, Rock am Ring, Hellfest, and Vans Warped Tour. Kicking off the new year performing with Avenged Sevenfold and Mr. Bungle in South America, 2026 is undeniably set to once again affirm the band's stalwart live reputation that had Melodic Mag declare: "their ability to connect with their audience, combined with their musical versatility and high-energy showmanship, cements their status as one of the most dynamic and exciting live bands today."
Two-time GRAMMY-nominated and Platinum-selling rockers PAPA ROACH have perfected evolution and raw power over the course of 30 years. Hailing from Vacaville, California and forming back in the early 90s, PAPA ROACH embody resilience in every sense of the word.
Releasing their debut album, Old Friends from Young Years, in 1997, the band have since gone on to release 11 studio albums, including their most recent outing Ego Trip, unveiled in 2022 via their own label New Noize Records. A band equally fluent in weaving fresh takes on the alternative and hard rock realms time and time again, PAPA ROACH have also spent their storied career calling attention to mental health; a driving theme that stems back to day one and the release of their genre-defining 2000 debut single Infest, Last Resort. A breakout hit taken from their 2000 album Infest, Last Resort would also go on to pave the way for 26 career Top-10 hits, 12 career #1s and an ongoing global impact that most could only dream of.
French modern metalcore heavyweights LANDMVRKS have become one of the most in-demand names in the scene, forming in 2014 and going on to push the very fabric of their genre via their signature blend of blistering heaviness, infectious melodies and emotionally-charged lyrics. Over the course of four studio albums, including their latest 2025 full-length The Darkest Place I've Ever Been, LANDMVRKS continue to raise their own benchmark to ferocious heights. Ticking off a successful world tour in 2024, the group have solidified their standing as a global powerhouse, and their electrifying shows leave audiences breathless, as does their stacked back-catalogue that spans the likes of Sulfur, Suffocate, Scars and many more. Marking their first national Australian headline tour earlier this year, 2026 will find LANDMVRKS once again wowing Aussie crowds with their trademark brutality.
