Fleshwater Announce 2026 Australian Tour With Ingrown & Secret World

June 23, 2026

One of heavy music’s fastest-rising and hardest-to-categorise bands is heading back Down Under.

Massachusetts favourites Fleshwater have announced a national Australian tour for November 2026, returning off the back of an absolutely monster year that’s seen them drop acclaimed sophomore album 2000: In Search Of The Endless Sky, tour with Deftones and The Mars Volta, and tick Coachella off the bucket list for good measure.

Fleshwater – ‘Last Escape’

Not bad for a project that originally wasn’t even meant to become a full-time band.

Initially formed as a side mission involving members of Vein.fm, Fleshwater quickly evolved into something much bigger. Their breakout single Linda Claire introduced a sound that felt strangely familiar and completely fresh at the same time – stitching together shoegaze haze, grunge melancholy, alternative rock hooks and hardcore weight into something that hit directly in the feelings while still sounding enormous.

Their 2022 debut We’re Not Here To Be Loved turned that early hype into something very real, earning the band a fiercely loyal following and slots everywhere from Lollapalooza and Riot Fest through to Sound & Fury and Sick New World.

Now they’re bringing the next chapter to Australia.

Fresh off the release of 2000: In Search Of The Endless Sky, Fleshwater’s return arrives with a bigger profile, bigger rooms and a live reputation that’s only continued to grow – with fans quickly learning these songs somehow hit even harder in person.

Joining them across the country are Idaho hardcore wrecking crew Ingrown, whose self-described “gun-toting, dirt-bike-riding, hell-raising hardcore” has made them one of the most chaotic new names in the US heavy scene.

Opening things up will be Sydney’s Secret World, bringing their blend of hardcore intensity and rock’n’roll swagger to every stop except Perth.
