Australia: prepare the pits. Southern California metal juggernauts Of Mice & Men are making a furious return down under next May – and they’re bringing Japanese metalcore powerhouses Crystal Lake along for the carnage.
After flattening crowds on their 2024 run, OM&M are coming back bigger, louder and ready to unleash another round of breakdown-fuelled chaos across Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
Frontman Aaron Pauley says Australia is their spiritual second home: “The crowds there are unmatched in their passion and chaos… it feels like coming home with family,” he said. “Get ready for the pits to open wide.”
With over a billion streams, Billboard #1 albums, and co-signs from Metallica, Slipknot and Linkin Park, Of Mice & Men remain a global force = all precision riffs, skyscraper-sized choruses and screams that rattle your ribcage.
Joining them for the mayhem: Crystal Lake, back in Australia for the first time in six years. The Japanese metalcore titans continue to redefine the genre with jaw-dropping technicality and monstrous energy.
