Killswitch Engage return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026, bringing more than two decades of genre-defining metal to the stage with their biggest Antipodean headline shows yet, joined by special guests Sylosis. The Western Massachusetts heavyweights helped redraw the map for modern metal in the early 2000s, fusing blistering European inspired guitar work, East Coast hardcore energy and emotionally charged, uplifting lyrics into a sound that changed the game for a generation of bands and fans. Across a landmark career, Killswitch Engage have earned three Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance, multiple gold and platinum records, billions of streams and a reputation as one of the most powerful live acts in heavy music. From classic albums like Alive Or Just Breathing, The End of Heartache and As Daylight Dies through to chart topping releases Disarm the Descent, Incarnate and 2019’s Atonement, they’ve consistently raised the bar while packing out venues and festival main stages around the world. Fresh from celebrating 25 years as a band and the release of their latest album This Consequence – featuring the blockbuster single “I Believe,” the biggest radio hit of their career – Killswitch Engage are set to deliver a career spanning set for their Australian and New Zealand fans. Expect a night that runs from era defining anthems to new favourites, all delivered with the intensity and heart that has seen them share stages with everyone from Iron Maiden and Slayer to My Chemical Romance, Mastodon, Slipknot and Parkway Drive.

Originally hailing from Dingley in Melbourne, Jet quickly conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing almost 10 x Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the USA and UK for their 2003 debut album Get Born . The album produced a string of classic singles in Are You Gonna Be My Girl , Rollover DJ , and Look What You've Done and netted the band 6 x 2004 ARIA awards. Both Are You Gonna Be My Girl and Cold Hard Bitch peaked at number 1 on the US Modern Rock singles charts and propelled the band to the top of festival bills and charts around the world. Jet’s follow up album Shine On followed in 2006 and was rammed full of another collection of melodic rockers including, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is , Bring It On Back and Rip It Up , and achieved platinum status in Australia on the back of stand-out headline shows around the world, and an unforgettable Big Day Out run in 2007. 2023 marked 20 years since the release of their debut album Get Born. To celebrate, Jet embarked on their first band shows in 5 years, playing Get Born in full, re-visiting the incredible tracklist that won them fans right across the world – including such timeless tracks such as Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Look What You’ve Done, Rollover DJ and Get Me Outta Here. Songs that sound as invigorating today as they did 20 years ago. Reflecting on the album, Nic Cester said, ‘Get Born was a rare and unique moment of total planetary alignment where we somehow managed to capture lighting in a bottle.’ In November 2023 Jet received the honour of being the 2023 ARIA Hall Of Fame Inductees.

19-Twenty are back, and they’re bringing the heat to Waves Wollongong on September 11. After tearing the roof off last time, the high-energy blues and roots trio return with their signature mix of driving rhythms, deep grooves, and a stage presence that refuses to sit still. Built on raw musicianship and years of relentless touring, 19-Twenty have carved out a reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in the country. This isn’t a band you politely watch with a drink in hand—this is the kind of show that pulls you in, gets you moving, and doesn’t let go. From the first note to the final hit, every moment is dialled up. The chemistry is tight, the energy is contagious, and the crowd becomes part of the show. Whether it’s a gritty blues stomp, a funk-infused jam, or a moment that explodes into full-blown chaos, 19-Twenty know exactly how to keep a room on its toes. Joining the night are Sunday Lemonade, bringing their own vibrant sound to kick things off and set the tone. It’s the perfect pairing to get the room buzzing early and keep the momentum building right into a massive headline set. This is more than just a return—it’s a statement. A band at full flight, back in a room that knows exactly how wild it can get. Don’t just take our word for it: “Hands down one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. I came in curious and left completely blown away. Absolute chaos in the best possible way.” ★★★★★ “I’ve been to hundreds of gigs and this was something else. The energy, the musicianship, the connection with the crowd—it’s on another level. Bought tickets for the next show before I even left the venue.” ★★★★★ Wollongong, this is your warning. Last time was huge. This time will be bigger.
