Parkway Drive Plans 11-Date Park Waves Festival Across Australia

Australian metal band Parkway Drive is launching 'Park Waves,' a curated travelling heavy metal festival touring across Australia in early 2026. The festival, described as the band's biggest undertaking, will feature circus performers, carnival rides, sideshow alleys, and food offerings to create an immersive 'headbanger's experience.' Parkway Drive will headline the 11-date tour, which begins at Langley Park in Perth and includes stops in major cities such as Adelaide, Sydney, and Byron Bay. The lineup also includes prominent Australian metalcore acts The Amity Affliction, Northlane, Alpha Wolf, and Story of the Year, marking the first time Parkway Drive and The Amity Affliction have toured Australia together. The event is open to attendees aged 16 and older and aims to deliver a full festival experience run by the band for their fans. Tickets go on sale July 24, 2025.
