A Day To Remember and Papa Roach will join forces in 2026 for the Big Rock Tour, a full-scale arena run across Australia and New Zealand with support from French metalcore breakouts Landmvrks. The tour begins on 4 April in Perth before moving through Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, concluding in Auckland on 15 April.

For A Day To Remember, the tour marks another chapter in a career built on blending pop-punk hooks with metalcore weight. Since the early 2000s, the Florida band have expanded well beyond their underground origins, charting eight albums across multiple Billboard categories and building a catalogue that has become a staple of modern alternative rock. Their 2025 touring schedule has been relentless, with headlining runs in the UK, Europe and North America, alongside appearances at Knotfest Australia, Slam Dunk Festival, Rock am Ring and Hellfest.

Papa Roach bring three decades of evolution to the bill. Formed in California in the early 90s, the band have remained a consistent presence in alternative rock, pairing heavy riffs with themes centred on resilience and mental health. Their landmark single “Last Resort” set the tone for a career that has produced 11 studio albums, 26 Top-10 hits and a long list of collaborations and support slots with global acts including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem and Limp Bizkit. Their last Australian run in 2023 showed the band’s continued ability to connect with audiences, mixing new material with long-established favourites.

Landmvrks round out the lineup, bringing the sharp, melodic heaviness that has pushed them to the front of modern metalcore. Their 2025 album The Darkest Place I’ve Ever Been builds on a catalogue that includes fan-favourites like “Sulfur,” “Suffocate,” and “Scars,” and follows a global touring schedule that has solidified their reputation for high-intensity live shows.

The 2026 Big Rock Tour brings three distinct approaches to heavy music into the same rooms — a combination that signals one of the major rock tours of the year for audiences across Australia and New Zealand.
