Swallow the Sun

Finnish death-doom icons Swallow The Sun are set to make their debut to Australian shores in January 2026, bringing their monumental Finnish Grammy winning album "Shining" to life along with their entire discography across five devastatingly beautiful live performances.Known for over two decades of sonic sorrow and stunning intensity, the band will perform in Perth, Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane (headlining Immeasurable Darkness IV), and Melbourne.Formed in Jyväskylä in 2000, Swallow The Sun has long stood at the forefront of melancholy metal, garnering over 50 million streams, 10 million+ YouTube views, and performing 900+ shows across four continents.Their newest record "Shining" marks a bold artistic leap, produced and mixed by Grammy-nominated heavyweight Dan Lancaster (Bring Me The Horizon, Muse, Enter Shikari). Dubbed “the Black Album of Death Doom” by bassist Matti Honkonen, "Shining" fuses aching beauty with raw power in a way only Swallow The Sun can deliver.Fans can expect a tour that not only spans the band’s critically acclaimed back catalogue, but immerses them in the heart-rending intensity of "Shining" — an album that delves deep into the fragility of the human condition, the loss of innocence, and the shadows that bind us.Whether it’s the haunting tranquility of "New Moon", the crushing despair of "When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light", or the ethereal devastation of "Shining", Swallow The Sun promises a live experience that’s unforgettable.
