Suicidal Tendencies are heading back Down Under later this year for a string of headline dates in Australia and New Zealand, coinciding with their role as special guests on Metallica’s massive M72 world tour.
The announcement comes exactly two years after their last visit to the region and promises fans a series of explosive performances, with the band bringing along a wave of firsts for their return.
The tour will arrive alongside the release of the band’s first new single in seven years, “Adrenaline Addict,” featuring Australian vocalist Nisha Star. Set to drop ahead of the shows, the track marks a long-awaited return to the studio for the California skate-thrash pioneers, whose last album, Still Cyco Punk After All These Years, landed in 2018.
Fans will also get the chance to see Suicidal Tendencies’ revamped lineup in action for the first time. Frontman and founding member Mike Muir is joined by guitarist Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan, longtime shredder Dean Pleasants, bassist Tye Trujillo, son of Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, and former Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg.
This will be the first time the group has performed in Perth and Auckland since 2018, adding extra weight to an already highly anticipated run.
Support across all headline dates comes from Big Noter, the new heavy project from acclaimed Yorta Yorta/Wurundjeri/Wemba-Wemba artist Briggs. Known for his sharp lyricism and cultural commentary in the hip-hop world, Briggs is making a full-circle return to his punk and metal roots. Big Noter’s debut album, produced by Nick DiDia (Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam), is due out later this year.
The tour will also see a unique family connection play out on Australian stages. With Robert Trujillo touring with Metallica, his son Tye holding down bass duties for Suicidal Tendencies, and his wife Chloé performing with her band Blvd of Eyes at Brisbane and Sydney’s Heavyfest, the Trujillos will have all corners of the live music scene covered.
Tickets for the Australian dates go on sale Thursday, July 17 at 10 a.m. local time, with New Zealand sales opening the same day at 12 p.m. local time via the band’s official website.
