Suicidal Tendencies are set to make a thrilling return to Australia and New Zealand later this year, as they embark on an exciting series of headline shows. This tour aligns perfectly with their special guest appearance on Metallica’s monumental M72 world tour, ensuring fans are in for a treat with electrifying performances from both iconic bands.

The announcement of this much-anticipated tour comes exactly two years after Suicidal Tendencies last thrilled fans in the region. This upcoming tour promises to deliver a series of explosive performances that will leave audiences wanting more. Fans can expect an unforgettable experience as the band introduces a wave of exciting firsts during their return to Australia and New Zealand.

The tour coincides with the highly anticipated release of the band’s first new single in seven years, titled “Adrenaline Addict.” This new track features the talented Australian vocalist Nisha Star and is set to be released just before the shows. This single marks an eagerly awaited return to the studio for the California-based skate-thrash pioneers, whose previous album, Still Cyco Punk After All These Years, was released in 2018, making this new music particularly significant for loyal fans.

Fans will also have the exclusive opportunity to witness the newly revamped lineup of Suicidal Tendencies in action for the very first time. The band’s frontman and founding member, Mike Muir, will be joined by the incredibly talented guitarist Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan, alongside longtime shredder Dean Pleasants, bassist Tye Trujillo—the son of Metallica’s own Robert Trujillo—and the former Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg. This dynamic lineup promises to deliver an electrifying show that fans won’t want to miss.

This upcoming tour will mark the first time the group has performed in Perth and Auckland since 2018, adding extra significance to an already highly anticipated series of shows. Fans in these cities can look forward to experiencing the energy and excitement that Suicidal Tendencies bring to the stage, making this a can’t-miss event for hardcore followers of the band.

The support for all headline dates will be provided by Big Noter, a new heavy music project led by the acclaimed artist Briggs, who identifies as Yorta Yorta/Wurundjeri/Wemba-Wemba. Known for his sharp lyricism and insightful cultural commentary in the hip-hop scene, Briggs is making a notable return to his punk and metal roots. The debut album by Big Noter, produced by Nick DiDia—who has worked with Rage Against the Machine and Pearl Jam—is slated for release later this year, promising to be an exciting addition to the music landscape.

This tour will also showcase a unique family connection on Australian stages. With Robert Trujillo touring with Metallica, his son Tye fulfilling bass duties for Suicidal Tendencies, and his wife Chloé performing with her band Blvd of Eyes at Brisbane and Sydney’s Heavyfest, the Trujillo family will have all aspects of the live music scene covered, making this a memorable event for fans and family alike.

Tickets for the Australian shows will go on sale on Thursday, July 17 at 10 a.m. local time, while New Zealand ticket sales will commence the same day at 12 p.m. local time. Fans can secure their tickets through the band’s official website, ensuring they don’t miss out on this extraordinary music experience.
