The Australian heavy music scene is bracing for a seismic shift as metalcore heavyweights Of Mice & Men prepare for a massive five-city headline tour in May 2026. Following their barnstorming run in 2024, the California-based quartet is returning to what they describe as their “home away from home” for a tour billed as a “cathartic celebration of resilience.“
Adding significant weight to the lineup is the inclusion of Japanese metalcore legends Crystal Lake. This tour marks the band’s first return to Australian shores in over six years, a long-awaited comeback that has already sent waves through the alternative community. The pairing promises a masterclass in modern heavy music, blending Of Mice & Men’s melodic precision with Crystal Lake’s notoriously frantic live energy.
