The Australian nu-metalcore heavyweights—who’ve become synonymous with hard-hitting breakdowns and a dark, wolfish energy—are making their way to China for their first tour in six years, promoting their latest album Half Living Things. Get ready for some savage riffs and howls that’ll leave your ears ringing.

Alpha Wolf is the second Aussie band after AC/DC to get a Grammy nod, and if you haven’t caught them live before, now’s your chance to see the pack at their peak.

Joining them on stage are local heroes AN EMPTY CITY, celebrating their 10th anniversary and fresh off the release of their new album a lucid dream last night. The two bands are teaming up for one of the year’s most exciting metalcore shows. Mark your calendars—this is a tour that will go down in heavy music history.


From their origins in Tasmania, ALPHA WOLF have led the charge in the nu-metalcore scene, blending hardcore and deathcore with a dark, metallic edge. Their debut EP Origin set the tone, and after years of relentless touring and lineup changes, ALPHA WOLF is now a global force.

Their 2020 album A Quiet Place to Die broke into the ARIA top 10, and this year’s Half Living Things earned them a Grammy nod for Best Album Packaging—an impressive milestone for a band that’s only been around for 12 years. Now, they’re back to take the stage with the intensity only a true wolfpack can bring.


These guys have seen it all, and they’re celebrating a decade of evolution in 2025. With a style that’s evolved from gritty hardcore to something more experimental, An Empty City have always pushed the boundaries of what you can expect from a live show.

Their new album a lucid dream last night is a deep dive into dreams and reality, merging heavy vibes with ethereal soundscapes. These guys have crafted their sound over years, and with new music to showcase, their live show is going to be something special.
