Poison the Well

One of the most influential acts in modern metal and hardcore, in 2026 Florida heavyweights POISON THE WELL will at long last again be at arm's length for Australian fans, heading down under for their first Australian shows in well over 15 years this June, joined by special guests HAYWIRE (USA). 

Caustically fluent in flitting between brutality and beauty without breaking a sweat, POISON THE WELL's 1999 debut album ‘The Opposite Of December’ was a watershed moment for the metal and hardcore world, with a huge impact that redefined what heavy music could be for an entire generation. The band went on to release four further highly celebrated and diverse albums before calling it quits in 2010. A pair of reunion shows in 2015 inevitably snowballed into more activity, with the legendary band now on the eve of their first studio album in 17 years – ‘Peace In Place’, produced by Will Putney and due out March 20.  

The authentic and searing Boston hardcore group HAYWIRE will make their Australian debut as direct support. This will be one for the history books!
