Northlane is returning to New Zealand
for the first time in three years this November and has just confirmed two
support acts.
New Zealand hardcore act Saving Grace and Aussie rockers The Brave will open for Northlane at their
shows in Auckland on November
24 and in Wellington on November
25.
Since Northlane was last here in 2013, the Sydney lads have grown into one of Australia’s most
successful heavy music exports. Upon its release in July 2015, their third
album Node raced straight to the top of the ARIA Chart, debuting at #1 and landing them
the ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal album.
Revered by media around the world, Node scored the coveted feature album on triple j, a guest host spot on iconic ABC
television program Rage and two Blunt Magazine covers in six months. Alternative
Press nominated Northlane for the ‘Best New Band’ award at the 2015 APMAs and they earned a second Metal Hammer Golden Gods
‘Best Music Video’ nomination for Node’s
first single Rot.
Northlane has kept the momentum pumping in 2016 with appearances on the European festival
circuit, wowing crowds at Slam Dunk, Impericon Festivals, Groezrock, Graspop
and Southside, as well as selling out their own headline shows throughout the
continent. In April this year, Northlane dropped a surprise collaboration EP called Equinox with the best mates In Hearts Wake and
slayed massive stages around Australia, playing to thousands of people on the
biggest Australian tour of their career, with sold out shows in Brisbane and
Sydney.
Since their humble Kiwi beginnings in 2005, Saving Grace has gone onto share stages
and tour with some of the world’s finest hardcore and metal acts. With a strong
international touring history, coupled with hard-work, dedication and an
ever-growing fan-base, Saving
Grace has earned the reputation as one of Australasia’s most
successful spirit-filled hardcore acts.
Formed in 2013, The
Brave from Brisbane came together with a single goal in mind –
to make music to move people. The 2014 EP Endless turned heads across Australia,
and since then they have been refining their aspirant melodies and thudding
riffs into their debut album Epoch.
Northlane, supported by Saving
Grace and The
Brave, will play at the Kings
Arms in Auckland on November
24 and San
Fran in Wellington on November
25.
