The boys of Green will this time hit Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Wollongong, Sydney, Brisbane and Gold Coast giving us even more love than they did on their debut last year. The Retro Stoner Rockers left Australian fans with huge demands on their debut in March 2018 after they played a run of shows all over the continent, giving Australia an appetizer of what is now spinning on all vinyl players across the globe. GREENLEAFs eighth album "Hear the Rivers" was released in November 2018 and is a testament to their ever-growing love for classic rock, dynamic song writing and emotional rollercoasters of songs that appeal to the old school rockers and stoner metallers of the world.

Integrity - Australian tour

W/Supports tba

Known for being one of the most incendiary and influential bands in underground and modern metal history, apocalyptic icons INTEGRITY return with their highly anticipated, 12th studio album entitled Howling, For The Nightmare Shall Consume. A conceptual foretelling of the final days of Armageddon, Howling is a manifestation of pentecostal nightmares and religious depravities, wrought with fire and brimstone sermons and occult prophecies bathed in waves of destruction. Now with almost 30 years of creating dark and terrifying anthems under their belt, INTEGRITY have honored their past musical legacy while fearlessly moving forward into unchartered territory on what is undoubtedly their most elaborate and ambitious effort to date.
