The British grindcore pioneers head back to Australia in spring for their first shows in the country in six years. Perth alt rockers Shangrila will perform at both of the WA dates. Sunshine Coast band Wifecult will support the Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane shows of the tour, while local punks St Judes will open the Adelaide gig. It includes shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, Badlands, all of which take place between August 31 and September 7. Thrice’s Australian tour will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their 2003 major label debut, ‘The Artist In The Ambulance’. There really is something for everyone on the calendar, so with that in mind, NME has compiled a roundup of the biggest tours, concerts and gigs set to hit Australian shores throughout 2023.

The second half of the year is positively stacked with drool-worthy gigs, from pop heavyweights like Charlie Puth and Lizzo, to rock and punk favourites like Evanescence, Thrice and Ghost. Heading into 2023, the touring landscape only grew more chaotic – there’s been no shortage of enormous stadium and arena tours from pop and rock icons, as well as theatre and club runs from our indie favourites. Whether they were filling out stadiums for titans like Billie Eillish and Dua Lipa, or flocking to more intimate gigs at their nearest local, Australian crowds welcomed a stellar batch of touring artists with open – and likely flailing – arms. Australian live music fans were spoilt for choice in 2022: with borders finally reopened globally, we saw hundreds upon hundreds of artists make their way Down Under for some much-welcomed gigging.
