Hawthorne Heights

Armor for Sleep

Beloved Ohio emo veterans **Hawthorne Heights** will return to Australia in April 2026 to celebrate 20 years of their seminal album _'**If** **Only You Were Lonely**'._ They'll bring with them New Jersey post-hardcore legends **Armor For Sleep** for a long-awaited headline run celebrating the golden age of emo. Tickets go on sale Friday 7th November at 9am local time via **Destroy All Lines**.   
  
The five-date tour kicks off on Wednesday 22 April at **Magnet House** in Perth, before making its way through Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, where it wraps up on Tuesday 28 April at **The Brightside Outdoors**.  
  
Over two decades since their formation, Hawthorne Heights remain one of the most iconic emo acts of the new millennium. Released in 2006, _If Only You Were Lonely_ remains a landmark album in the emo genre, featuring timeless tracks like _"**Saying Sorry**"_ and _"**This Is Who We Are**"_. The album cemented Hawthorne Heights’ status as one of the era’s defining acts, earning Gold certification and leaving a lasting impact on fans around the world.  
  
Throughout their career, the quartet have endured every obstacles thrown at them, but these roadblocks always seemed to come from external forces - unscrupulous record labels and the shifting whims of fickle audiences to unimaginable personal tragedy threatening to derail them - yet their resolve has only strengthened. Despite the odds, Hawthorne Heights continue to thrive as a touring force nearly 20 years after their inception.  
  
Joining them across the Australian run is Armor For Sleep, celebrating the release of their brand new studio album _**There Is No Memory**_, out Friday 7 November via **Equal Vision**/**Civilians**. Recorded with **Sam Guaiana** (Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada, Between You and Me), _There Is No Memory_ is a collection of songs that force the listener to question the very nature of their existence, of what makes us the people we are.  
  
Formed in 2001, Armor For Sleep became a cornerstone of early 2000s emo with their concept-driven albums _**Dream to Make Believe**_ (2003) and _**What to Do When You Are Dead**_ (2005), influencing countless artists that followed. After a lengthy hiatus, the band triumphantly returned with _**The Rain Museum**_ in 2022, and are now walking a new creative path that blends their classic emotional storytelling with fresh perspective.  
  
Hawthorne Heights _If Only You Were Lonely_ 20th anniversary Australian tour is a celebration of evolution and endurance. Tickets available Friday 7th November at 9am local time and presale available Thursday 6th November at 9am local time via [Destroy All Lines](http://www.destroyalllines.com/)
