American heavies Born Of Osiris and Signs Of The Swarm will join forces for a crushing double-headline Australian tour in March 2026, marking the long-awaited return of Born Of Osiris six years after their last visit, and the first chance for Australian fans to witness Signs Of The Swarm in full flight since the band's global breakthrough.

Six time Platinum-selling indie artist Cavetown, the project of English singer and songwriter Robin Skinner, has released his new single NPC, the fourth preview from his upcoming album Running With Scissors, due 16 January 2026.

Jimmy Barnes is extending the celebration of one of Australia's most defining rock albums, For The Working Class Man, adding three new shows to his already sold-out 40th Anniversary Tour.
