For the first time in almost a decade, Motionless In White will headline their own Australian tour. Next June, the Pennsylvania heavyweights will step into arena territory, playing their biggest shows yet in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.


The run begins on Wednesday 24 June at Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena, continues to Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Friday 26 June, and wraps up at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Sunday 28 June. It’s a significant step for the Scranton five-piece, who last headlined here in 2017 but have built a reputation as one of the most distinctive acts in modern heavy music.


Formed in the mid-2000s, Motionless In White forged their name on a collision of industrial metal, gothic pop and metallic hardcore, creating a sound that feels as cinematic as it is crushing. With four consecutive Top 5 entries on the Billboard Hard Rock and Rock Albums charts — Reincarnate (2014), Graveyard Shift (2017), Disguise (2019) and Scoring The End Of The World (2022) — the band now command more than one billion cumulative streams. Their live reputation has been equally formidable, whether touring with Slipknot, Korn and Lamb of God, or supporting I Prevail on Australian stages in 2022.


The group — Chris Motionless (vocals), Ricky Olson (guitar), Ryan Sitkowski (guitar), Vinny Mauro (drums) and Justin Morrow (bass) — are known for marrying huge production with precise, theatrical performance. Their return to Australia comes at a moment where the band are shifting firmly into global arena status.


Special Guests
Joining Motionless In White are two acts reflecting the breadth of heavy music in 2026. Perth’s Make Them Suffer have spent the last decade becoming one of Australia’s most successful heavy exports. Their 2024 self-titled record marked a new creative peak, building on earlier deathcore roots while pulling in melodic and metalcore elements. They’ve shared stages with Parkway Drive, Bring Me The Horizon and Sleep Token, while also amassing millions of streams in their own right.


Currents, hailing from Connecticut, bring their own post-metalcore lens to the bill. Known for blending ferocity with introspection, the band have cultivated a following through albums like The Place I Feel Safest (2017), The Way It Ends (2020) and The Death We Seek (2023). With more than 80 million streams and tours alongside Ice Nine Kills and We Came As Romans, they’ve become a vital name in the North American metalcore conversation.
