Cancer Bats | Give Me Dirt Australia | BAT FEST | Melbourne (late matinee)

For more than 20 years, Canadian hardcore heavyweights Cancer Bats have delivered uncompromising intensity. They’ve toured the globe relentlessly, released seven acclaimed albums, graced the pages of countless high-profile publications and built a legacy on unforgettable, raw, sweat-soaked head banging performances. 

Cancer Bats are back on Australian shores for the first time since 2024, supporting the release of their new album, ‘Give Me Dirt’ while playing the essential tracks from their impressive career. 

Regular visitors to Australian shores, Cancer Bats have played major festival slots and unforgettable headline tours. For Australian fans who have witnessed their intense live show, and those yet to be initiated, this extensive Australian run is a no-brainer.   

Cancer Bats will be joined by very special guests, Heriot, Bristol’s industrial metalcore hellraisers who have been touted by artists, journalists and fans alike as extreme music’s next breakout prospect, with Metal Hammer christening them “British metal’s most exciting new band”. Heriot are supporting their acclaimed debut album, ‘Devoured By The Mouth Of Hell’. 

BAT FEST is a special mini festival programmed by Cancer Bats and Destroy All Lines. Featuring Mannequin Death Squad, Totally Unicorn and Blood Oath along with Cancer Bats and Heriot
