Las Vegas post-hardcore heavyweights Escape The Fate will make their long overdue return to Australia this June, bringing with them US metalcore mainstays The Word Alive. For over two decades now, Escape The Fate have been one of the most recognisable names in modern hard rock, building an incredible catalogue packed with stadium-wrecking hooks, ferocious riffs and the kind of jackhammer heaviness that has kept fans coming back since their breakthrough record, 2008’s ‘This War Is Ours’.
The bands latest release, 2025’s ‘Redefined’, once again showcases a band that comfortably moves between crushing heaviness, soaring choruses and anthemic rock moments like true masters of their craft. Australia has always held Escape The Fate close to their hearts with the bands fanbase being one of the most loyal in the world, patiently waiting three long years for their return.
Speaking of patience, Patient Sixty-Seven will be opening the show on the Perth leg, which is sure to excite many fans.
That patience will be rewarded with a live show packed with fan favourites, massive singalongs and the kind of explosive energy that has defined Escape The Fate’s reputation as one of the greatest live acts of their era. Joining them on all dates will be Arizona metalcore veterans The Word Alive, a band who have built a fiercely loyal global following of their own. Their relentless live energy and emotionally charged songs have lead to them becoming one of heavy music’s biggest success stories with the 2018 single, ‘Rise’, achieving an astonishing 388 million plays!, Reaching across nearly two decades of material, The Word Alive will deliver a set guaranteed to turn every venue into a wall-to-wall singalong
