HELMET
AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2026



NYC Noise Rock Instigators HELMET return to Australia in 2026.
 
"Helmet stripped away the excess, dialled in the precision, and redefined what heaviness could sound like without succumbing to cliches." Pitchfork
 
Born at the dawn of the rage filled 90s, HELMET fiercely hold space for multiple generations of alternative fans seeking the vital energy of hostile riffs and inventive metronomic groove.
 
With bountiful visits over the last three decades, Helmet share a lovingly long and loyal relationship with Australian fans. Returning in 2026, Helmet will deliver inspired and essential moments from across their extensive back catalogue, satiating once again the Australian hunger for a night of drenched intensity.
 
Formed in New York  by Page Hamilton, Helmet rewired heavy music guiding peers like Deftones, Korn, through to Pantera and later Mastodon, to heel to the power of the brutal riff.
 
Helmets 1992 landmark Meantime album went gold and cemented them as trailblazers of the heavy music scene. From the genre-bending Betty (1994) which included the alt version Milktoast on cult 90s film The Crow, and Aftertaste (1997) to their return with Size Matters (2004) and a string of uncompromising releases through Dead to the World (2016), Left (2023) they remain a critical force.
