Parkway Drive Plans Multi-City Park Waves Festival Australia 2026

Parkway Drive, the Australian metalcore band from Byron Bay, is bringing their self-curated Park Waves festival to Australia in early 2026 after its successful debut in Germany in 2024. The festival, which featured prominent acts like Fit For a King and Thy Art Is Murder in Germany, will tour cities and regional centers across Australia from February through March, with lineup details yet to be announced. Parkway Drive recently made history as the first metalcore band to headline the Sydney Opera House, performing with a symphonic orchestra, and they are also set to headline Australia's first heavy metal cruise, Hellbound, in 2026. Fans have been encouraged to register for updates at parkwavesfestival.com and anticipate a major lineup, with Parkway Drive likely headlining the Australian edition. The band is currently celebrating their 20th anniversary and co-headlining the Summer of Loud tour in the U.S., solidifying their legacy as one of Australia’s top live acts. Park Waves Australia is poised to be a significant event in the country's heavy music scene, continuing Parkway Drive's momentum and expanding their international festival brand.
