Poison the Well make long-awaited return to Australia in 2026

February 3, 2026

Florida metalcore legends Poison the Well have announced their long-awaited Australian Tour 2026, hitting six cities in June with special guests Haywire. This marks Poison the Well’s first headline run in Australia since 2009 and comes amid a monumental year for the band.

Emerging from Coral Springs, Florida in the late ’90s, Poison the Well helped define modern metalcore and melodic hardcore with seminal releases like The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation and Tear from the Red. Their influence has been widely recognised across the scene, with classic records frequently cited in genre-best lists and inspiring bands around the world. In 2026, the band are continuing a powerful resurgence in support of Peace in Place, their first new studio album in over 15 years, bringing both new material and fan-favourite anthems to stages around Australia.

Fresh off sold-out shows across North America and Europe, Poison the Well’s live reputation remains explosive, dynamic, and deeply emotive, a visceral testament to their enduring legacy. Their return to Australia promises to be one of the most anticipated tours of the year for fans of heavy music and hardcore alike.

Joining them on this run are rising heavyweights Haywire. The Boston-based hardcore outfit is known for their high-energy performances and fierce connection with audiences. The band have been building strong momentum with packed shows across the U.S., earning attention for their raw intensity and crowd-igniting sets.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of Poison the Well or discovering them live for the first time, this tour is set to deliver unforgettable nights of powerful riffs, crushing rhythms and anthemic emotion.
