Cancer Bats

Canadian hardcore punk legends **Cancer Bats** will return to Australian shores for the first time since 2019 with an eight-date national tour.  
  
The tour will include stops in Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Canberra and Adelaide, and is in support of their latest LP and seventh studio album, **2022**'s '**Psychic Jailbreak**'. The beloved metal stalwarts once again stepped into new territory with the record, writing and recording as a three-piece following the departure of founding member and guitarist **Scott Middleton** while navigating the global pandemic.

While visiting our shores, Cancer Bats alter egos **Bat Sabbath** will make exclusive appearances in Sydney and Melbourne in support of **2023**'s '**Masters Of Duality**' EP. Armed with some of the greatest metal songs of all time, Bat Sabbath are ready to fuel beer-soaked orgies of destruction in Australia, with special guests to be announced.

'Psychic Jailbreak' earned the band their sixth **JUNO** **Award** nomination and saw extensive tastemaker support from the likes of **Metal Hammer** (**UK**), **Kerrang!** (**UK**), **Exclaim!** (**CAN**), **NME**, **Wall of Sound**, **HEAVY Mag** and **Punktastic** (**UK**).  
  
One of the hardest working bands in the industry, Cancer Bats have consistently traversed the globe, performing at international mainstays **Download Festival** (**UK**) and **Reading** and **Leeds Festivals** (**UK**), and alongside the likes of **Bring Me The Horizon** (**UK**), **Alexisonfire** (**CAN**), **Thursday** (**USA**), **Rise Against** (**USA**), **The Bronx** (**USA**), **Bullet For My Valentine** (**UK**), **Gallows** (**UK**), **Comeback Kid** (**CAN**), **Pierce the Veil** (**USA**), **Everytime I Die** (**USA**), **Haste the Day** (**USA**) and **Billy Talent** (**CAN**).  
  
Sydney-based party punks **FANGZ** will join Cancer Bats on their headline shows. The band have traversed the country multiple times, selling out headline shows, performing at festivals and sharing stages with the likes of **FIDLAR** (**USA**), **Pennywise** (**USA**), **RedHook**, Comeback Kid (CAN), **He Is Legend** (**USA**) and **Gyroscope**. Their music has been strongly supported by **triple j**, **triple j Unearthed**, **Triple M**, **Spotify**, **Apple Music**, **Amazon Music**, Metal Hammer (UK), **Loudwire** (**USA**), **Classic Rock** (**UK**), **Metal Injection** (**USA**), **Louder Sound** (**UK**), NME, **Pilerats**, **The Guardian**, **MANIACS**, and many more.
