Fresh off dropping their most ambitious record yet, Melbourne heavyweights Thornhill are levelling up in a big way. The band have just announced their biggest Australian headline tour to date, hitting stages in February 2026 with a stacked international lineup in tow.
The run will mark Thornhill’s first Aussie shows since unleashing their career-defining third album BODIES, which debuted at #4 on the ARIA Albums Chart and landed triple j’s coveted Feature Album slot. After conquering sold-out preview shows, the band are now ready to bring BODIES to fans on home turf with their biggest production yet.
Thornhill – ‘TONGUES’
Joining the party is a trio of heavyweight guests: Amira Elfeky (USA), making her long-awaited Australian debut with her nu-metal–tinged blend of Deftones-meets-Evanescence tunes, plus Japanese EDM-infused metalcore genre-benders Paledusk, and Melbourne’s own Heavensgate, fresh off their signing to Pure Noise/Greyscale Records.
“These are the biggest shows we’ve ever put on,” Thornhill said in a press statement. “We’ve curated a lineup that feels really special to us, and fans can expect a whole new energy. This tour is going to capture exactly where Thornhill is at right now.”
The announcement comes as Thorny wrap up a whirlwind 2025 will see them tour North America with the mighty Sleep Token next month, after headlining across Europe and the UK, as they continue to carve out their spot as one of Australia’s most exciting exports in heavy music.
