The rising titans of Australian heavy metal, Battlesnake, are returning home in thunderous fashion this September and October for their long-awaited The Year Of The Snake Australian Album Tour, celebrating the release of their ferocious third album, Dawn Of The Exultants and The Hunt For The Shepherd. Fresh off a blistering three-month run across the UK and Europe, which saw them level legendary festivals like Download (UK), Copenhell (Denmark), Rock For People (CZ), Pinkpop (NL) and Mad Cool (Spain), as well as support Eagles of Death Metal (USA) Battlesnake are coming back to where it all began. This is more than a tour. It’s a homecoming celebration. A reckoning. A resurrection. The tour marks the Australian unveiling of their most ambitious work to date. Dawn Of The Exultants and The Hunt For The Shepherd sees the band reach new creative heights, melding face-melting riffs, operatic grandeur, and apocalyptic storytelling into a sonic experience unlike anything else in modern metal.

Expect a full-force live show of epic proportions,a night of sweat, steel, and serpentine chaos, driven by the band’s legendary theatricality, monstrous musicianship, and an unrelenting wall of sound. From underground clubs to festival main stages, Battlesnake have built their reputation onpure, undiluted energy and they’re bringing it all home. With a rapidly growing legion of fans and critical acclaim from both sides of the hemisphere, Battlesnake’s 2025 Australian Album Tour is set to be their most explosive yet. Don your battlegear. The Exultants are rising and the Shepherd is on the run. All hail Battlesnake.

Handsome Tours are proud to present Freak Slug! A visual artist and painter as well as an unconventional, self-taught songwriter and musician, everything that fuels the creative output of Manchester’s Xenya Genovese, AKA Freak Slug, is about raw, authentic, sometimes weird but always totally true self-expression. She’s not one to sugar coat things; “I’m a lot, so it’s a lot to show who I am because some people might not like it,” she accepts. But in amongst the mix of an introverted extrovert, self described “avoidant” Leo rising, lives the sort of musician who can do nostalgic, ‘90s influenced and dreamy as well as eccentric and experimental. Down there, picking through the curious mix of sounds and feelings, lives Freak Slug. We acknowledge that this event will be held on Wurundjeri land of the Kulin Nation and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.

On October 17th, The ferocious act The Maggie Pills are taking over The Night Cat to launch their highly anticipated sophomore album 'Hearts Enduring Lingering Loss'. With twelve tracks filled with grunge distortion and fuzz-drenched menace, 'Hearts Enduring Lingering Loss' unpacks loss, desire, fear and defiance in equal measure. H.E.L.L is more than the sum of its parts. It’s reflection, it’s the cyclical nature of things, it’s pain and joy and hope. It dreams of a brighter future, with echoes of the past and tales of myth mirroring the persistence of the human condition. It melds nostalgia, memory, and comforting reflection, with urgency and need and discomfort at ourselves and the world around us. Joining them will be Melbourne faves DESTRENDS, PROPAINE and CONG JOSIE. THE MAGGIE PILLSLed by Argentinian front woman Delfi Sorondo and Venezuelan drummer Mario Perez, The Maggie Pills are a fierce outfit who embody the spirit of the Indie/Alternative movement and the urgency of Punk, with an intense and magnetic live performance.Their catalogue includes two EPs, several singles and a massive debut double album titled “Hope is Risk”. Self-produced by Perez, the album was nominated by Music Victoria for ‘Best Heavy Work’ as part of the Music Victoria Awards 2023 and by the Australian Music Prize as one of the best Australian albums released in 2023. DESTRENDSBold, angular, and soaked in the kind of theatrics every music fan craves, Melbourne collective Destrends offers up a seamless blend of modern Australian post-punk, British rock, and driving 80s new wave. PROPAINEPropaine are a 4-piece alt-rock/alt punk band interlacing volatile and abrupt peaks of noise with delicate sparse melody. Propaine creates sound which revels in emotive anger alongside waves of melancholy hooks and repetition. CONG JOSIECong Josie, Naarms most infamous synth-punk greaser, rolls like a heartbroken gutter snake. Backed by his gang,The Hellraisers, their shows are lauded for their unpredictability, audience interaction and rollin good times. With two LP's under his belt and the new EP collaboration with Garry Sacred (Sacred Cowboys) there's no stopping Josie and his street fightin' associates. We acknowledge that this event will be held on Wurundjeri land of the Kulin Nation and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
