YOB ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIAN TOUR
AFTER A DECADE COSMIC DOOM PIONEERS YOB MAKE THEIR LONG-AWAITED RETURN TO AUSTRALIA IN FEBRUARY 2026
The Oregon trio will bring their monumental, soul rending sound to audiences down under for a landmark series of performances.
For nearly three decades, YOB has forged a legacy built upon the pillars of immense, tectonic riffs, transcendental melodies, and the singular, soul-bearing vocal delivery of frontman Mike Scheidt. More than a doom metal band YOB are the architects of vast, emotional soundscapes that are equally crushing and cathartic. Their live shows are more like rituals, journeys into the light and the abyss, leaving audiences both devastated and elated.
Frontman Mike Scheidt comments - “It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since we’ve been to Australia. We are so stoked to be coming back!”
Anyone who has attended a YOB show knows the distinct quality of attention the band commands. To see them live is to surrender completely, awash in pulverizing sound. The sheer mass of the music dislodges consciousness from its habitual patterns; dissolve into YOB and you'll find yourself rewritten upon surfacing.
Joining them for this monumental trek will be special guests Mountain Wizard Death Cult, Australia’s purveyors of crushing, atmospheric sludge, ensuring an evening of uncompromising and transformative heaviness from start to finish.
