The modern heavy music landscape is bracing for a complete sonic leveling. New Jersey blackened deathcore titans Lorna Shore have officially announced their return down under this October for their biggest headline tour to date. The blockbuster run features massive arena settings across Australia and marks a monumental milestone: the band’s first-ever live performances in New Zealand.
Lorna Shore’s astronomical rise beyond the underground metal subculture into global, mainstream chart dominance has been heavily fueled by the viral vocal acrobatics of frontman Will Ramos. Fresh off the release of their fifth studio album, 2025’s widely acclaimed I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, the band is bringing their trademark brand of unbridled ferocity, cinematic orchestration, and symphonic breakdowns back to the Southern Hemisphere.
The touring package is a dream lineup for extreme metal fans. Joining them on all Australian arena dates are deathcore pioneers Whitechapel, returning to Aussie shores on the heels of their 2025 release Hymns in Dissonance. Massively influential sludge/hardcore veterans The Acacia Strain are also locked in to snap necks across the entire trans-Tasman run, supporting their new LP You Are Safe From God Here. For the historic New Zealand leg, Christchurch death metal outfit Organectomy will step up as the exclusive local openers.
The ticketing layout features multiple early bird windows before the general public release on Wednesday, June 3rd at 11:00 AM local time.
Promoter early bird pre-sale windows unlock on Monday, June 1st at 12:00 PM AEST, with venue and ticketing presales rolling out on Tuesday, June 2nd at 10:00 AM local time. Given that the band’s debut headline tour down under completely sold out well in advance, metal fans are highly encouraged to secure their spots early.
