The crowd is full of vim and vigour this night, ravenous for Karnivool’s music and presence.
"Karnivool influenced Northlane by showing us that songwriting and nailing every transition live is more important than jumping around..."
Vocalist Ian Kenny previously said there was “more new music coming”, and a Karnivool record is “sitting on the shelf”.
Karnivool's forthcoming dates come ahead of their appearance at the 21st edition of the UK’s premier rock and metal music festival, Download Festival.
"We were lucky enough to help launch Badlands Bar into the world, so it seemed fitting for us to wave the good folks there off one last time before it closes its doors."
Karnivool, Make Them Suffer, Thy Art Is Murder and more Aussies are set to take over Download Festival stages.
It’s a rainy Saturday afternoon for the first show of the Monolith Festival tour. But after being rescheduled multiple times, not even the dreary weather can stop Brisbane’s metal contingent from gathering at Eatons Hill Outdoors for what can only be described as the lineup of Australian progheads’ wildest dreams, with a few fun surprises thrown in for good measure.
“I’m like, ‘Right, I can hear it, I don’t know what it is. What the fuck am I supposed to sing to that?!’”
One of the most common cries in the Australian Music Scene when tours and festivals are announced is: "What? No Adelaide?" Well, South Australians, your cries have been heard and your prayers have been answered, thanks to Destroy All Lines!
WA Border closures and capacity uncertainties push Monolith Festival back to August/September 2022. Karnivool, COG, Ocean Grove, Plini, sleepmakeswaves, Reliqa & Yomi Ship remain on all dates!
