AFI are back for their first Australian headline tour in over 10 years

The blood, sweat, tears and thousands of sold out shows have morphed AFI into one of the most ferocious live acts in the world today. They will be bringing it to Australia in full force this September, showcasing songs from across their incredible catalogue.

Since the release of their Triple J Feature Album 'Promise Everything', there has been no stopping UK's Basementon their road to gaining an intensely devoted posthumous following. Returning to Australian shores fresh from their sold out headline tour in 2016, the band will be gearing up for their biggest tour here to date, where they will be bringing their highly energetic and engaging live show to the stage in support to AFI.

With an eccentric, raw and emotional live performance, Introvert has been making waves both here in Australia and Overseas. They were recently featured as Triple J Unearthed’ ‘Featured Artist’ and one of their “10 artists to watch in 2017”. Introvert also recently completed national tours with Birds of Tokyo, Balance and Composure, Hellions and a spot on Groovin The Moo, and are a killer addition to this incredible lineup.

AFI + BASEMENT + INTROVERT TOUR DATES:
Saturday 9 September – Big Top, Sydney – Licensed All Ages
Sunday 10 September – Forum Theatre, Melbourne – 18+
Tuesday 12 September – HQ, Adelaide – Licensed All Ages
Thursday 14 September – Metro City, Perth – 18+

AFI (The Blood Album)
Concord Music Group (2017)

AFI's trajectory over the last twenty and more years has been one that emulates growth and experimentation and the quartet that once sang about not being allowed a mohawk is now one that that sings about much darker, twisted subjects (although in more obvious terms than they once did).

AFI (The Blood Album)
Concord Music Group (2017)

Album number ten for the ever-evolving Californian four piece, whose shift in sound from skate punk to hardcore to "goth punk" to pop-influenced radio rock to... whatever 2009's Crash Love was... is well documented. And now here we are, after the gritty, aggressive Burials: a self-titled album also known as "The Blood Album".At first listen it's not too dissimilar from … Read more

Burials
Republic (2013)

As a zine built on the foundation of loving AFI, it would clearly be remiss not to talk about their new record. We try to pretend that Decemberunderground and Crash Love never happened - the first rule of AFI fandom is.... - but it would be silly to think that AFI made it to Burials without having to go through those two terrible albums.
