Welsh rock trio Holding Absence is gearing up for their first-ever Australian headline tour this August, marking a major milestone for the band and their fans down under. After years of supporting tours with acts like Thornhill, Void Of Vision, and You Me At Six, the Cardiff group is stepping into the spotlight as headliners across several cities. This tour promises to be a defining moment for the band and a significant event in the Australian music scene.

Holding Absence’s Rise to Prominence

Since forming in 2015, Holding Absence has steadily built a devoted global following. Their sound, rooted in modern post-hardcore, blends emotional intensity with powerful melodies, creating music that resonates deeply with listeners. Over the past decade, the band has amassed hundreds of millions of streams worldwide and toured extensively across the UK, Europe, North America, and Australia.

Their 2023 album, The Noble Art Of Self-Destruction, marked the conclusion of a trilogy that began with their 2019 self-titled debut and continued with 2021’s The Greatest Mistake Of My Life. This trilogy has cemented Holding Absence’s reputation as leaders in their genre. Earlier this month, they released Whisper Of A Dream, a poignant new single that continues to showcase their ability to blend heartbreak and hope in their music.

What to Expect from the Australian Tour

The upcoming Australian tour is a significant step for Holding Absence, as they headline Aussie gigs for the first time. Fans can expect a setlist that spans their career, including tracks from their latest release and fan favorites from previous albums. The band’s live performances are known for their emotional intensity and connection with the audience, making these shows a must-see for anyone interested in live music.

Joining Holding Absence on all dates is California metalcore outfit Kingdom of Giants. Returning to Australia after their 2023 run with Bury Tomorrow, Kingdom of Giants bring a fresh energy with two new EPs, Bleeding Star and Burning Chrome. Their sound combines crushing heaviness with cinematic elements inspired by synthwave and cyberpunk, offering a unique experience that complements Holding Absence’s style.

Impact on the Australian Music Scene

Holding Absence’s headline tour highlights the growing appetite for post-hardcore and heavy music within the Australian music scene. Their ability to draw crowds as headliners reflects the strength of their fanbase and the increasing recognition of this genre in Australia. The tour also provides an opportunity for local fans to experience international acts that push the boundaries of modern heavy music.

For fans and newcomers alike, these Aussie gigs offer a chance to witness two bands at the peak of their creative powers. The combination of Holding Absence’s heartfelt lyrics and Kingdom of Giants’ expansive sound promises a dynamic and memorable live music experience.
