Frontier Touring is pleased to announce two shows from fast-rising Byron Bay three-piece HEADSEND this April, hitting Sydney and Melbourne for a pair of unmissable rock shows.

Built first and foremost as a live band, HEADSEND’s rise has been defined on stage – the band’s ferocious, up-close energy fuelling their rapid ascent. Having already stepped onto arena and stadium stages in 2025 alongside global heavyweights Tool and AC/DC, Rasmus King, Kyuss King and Bon Soric have sharpened their reputation through relentless touring, which also including supporting UK outfit Wunderhorse on their sold-out Australian run.

It’s a trajectory earned the hard way: loud, direct sets that prioritise feel over polish and leave little distance between band and audience. Playing more than 40 shows across Australia in the past year alone, the trio now bring that same intensity back into intimate rooms for these two headline appearances in Sydney and Melbourne – part of a wider tour run that includes slots at The Great Escape in the UK, with additional UK/EU tour dates to follow.

Today’s tour announcement follows news of the band’s debut EP Angel Glands, arriving March 27 – preorder here. The release features the ferocious tracks ‘Stove’ and ‘Chugg’, alongside the recently released woozy anthem ‘And Angel’. Drawing directly from the raw onstage energy shown during their recent performances, the EP channels the unfiltered intensity of HEADSEND’s live shows. Recorded live in-studio by Nick DiDia (Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots), the EP preserves the dynamics and physicality that have fuelled their word-of-mouth rise as a live act.

Frontier Members can get early access to tickets via the Members presale, which starts Thursday 12 March (11am local time) – see frontiertouring.com/headsend for full details. Tickets will then go on sale to the public on Friday 13 March (12pm local time).
