Helmet has built a reputation as one of the most commanding forces in the underground scene. Born at the dawn of the rage-filled 90’s, Helmet fiercely holds space for multiple generations of alternative fans seeking the vital energy of hostile riffs and inventive metronomic groove. With a refusal to fit neatly into a genre, Helmet’s music creates an atmosphere best known live; part industrial, part hip-hop, part existential sermon."Helmet stripped away the excess, dialled in the precision, and redefined what heaviness could sound like without succumbing to clichés." Pitchfork
Formed in 1989 in NYC by Page Hamilton, Helmet has been crushing stages for over three decades. In that time they have only come to Aotearoa / NZ a handful of times, most recently in 2023 during their sold out Best of Helmet 1989-2023 tour, with 13th Floor declaring “a complete evening of essential music from one of heavy music’s most essential bands.” With 35 years of rocking behind them, Helmet are at the top of their game.
