Few modern metal bands have left such a powerful mark on their generation as Parkway Drive. This coming autumn, the Australian titans will celebrate two decades of relentless evolution with an extensive European anniversary tour — one that promises to redefine what fans expect from a live metal experience.
The band’s long-awaited return to Portugal takes place on October 30th, 2025, at Sagres Campo Pequeno, Lisbon, for a single night of ferocity and spectacle. More than just another stop on the tour, this show represents a full-circle moment for Parkway Drive, who have spent twenty years transforming their raw beginnings in Byron Bay into a global phenomenon.
Joining them on this monumental night will be two fellow Australian powerhouses — Thy Art Is Murder, masters of deathcore brutality, and The Amity Affliction, bringing their emotionally charged brand of post-hardcore to the stage. Together, the three acts promise one of the most intense and immersive metal nights of the year.
A LEGACY BUILT ON FIRE AND DEDICATION
Since their formation, Parkway Drive have reshaped the sound and scope of modern metalcore. Eight acclaimed albums, three documentaries, and countless sold-out tours later, they stand as one of the most influential acts to emerge from the 21st-century heavy scene. Their explosive blend of technical precision, emotional depth, and sheer stage power has earned them a reputation as masters of live performance — one they intend to surpass once again with this anniversary production.
Frontman Winston McCall describes the upcoming tour as “next level”:
“We’ve always taken pride in giving our audience the best show possible, but this time we’re taking it to the extreme — more fire, more energy, and the biggest production we’ve ever built.”
Their journey from the serene shores of Byron Bay to the world’s largest arenas has been nothing short of remarkable. From the early chaos of Horizons and Deep Blue to the anthemic reach of Atlas, IRE, Reverence and Darker Still, Parkway Drive’s evolution has reflected not only musical growth but also a rare commitment to authenticity and connection.
Now, as they mark their 20th year, Parkway Drive aren’t looking back — they’re creating a new benchmark for what heavy music can achieve live.
