SUMAC ANNOUNCE FIRST EVER AUSTRALASIAN TOUR

Renowned US experimental metal trio SUMAC will make their long-awaited Australian debut in February 2026, bringing their boundary-pushing live show to Auckland, Wellington, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Formed by Aaron Turner(ISIS, Old Man Gloom), Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists), and Brian Cook(Russian Circles, Botch), SUMAC have carved a reputation as one of the most uncompromising and visionary acts in modern heavy music. Their sound merges colossal sludge, free-form improvisation, and avant-garde exploration — constantly shifting between structured heaviness and total sonic freedom.

The tour follows the release of SUMAC’s latest studio album, The Healer, a record celebrated for its fearless creativity and emotional depth. Known for transforming every performance into an evolving soundscape, SUMAC’s live shows are as immersive as they are intense — equal parts meditation and demolition.

Melbourne’s own Convulsing will join SUMAC on all Australian dates bringing their visceral, boundary-pushing sound to the stage as the perfect counterpart to SUMAC’s crushing intensity.
