“Of Mice & Men delivered a premier performance that will be remembered as one of the top shows of 2024. Their sound is monstrously tight, awesome riff after awesome riff throughout the night. The vocals are pitch-perfect, shifting from brutal screams and growls to hook-riddled clean vocals. OM&M have transcended beyond the underground act they were originally known. One of the largest and most powerful circle pits witnessed… the fans went nuts” Matt New (Heavy Mag)Southern California alt-metal powerhouse OF MICE & MEN return in May, as fierce as ever and armed with their legendary live show, unrelenting energy, fan-favorite anthems and one hell of a team up courtesy of Japan’s metalcore prodigies, CRYSTAL LAKE!
“Australia holds a special place in our heart. The crowds there are unmatched in their passion and chaos,” says frontman Aaron Pauley. “After the love we felt last year, we are stoked to return with a new show and tear the roof off once again. It feels like coming home with family. Get ready for the pits to open wide.”
From crafting colossal arena songs to delivering them with blistering precision and heart-pounding intensity, every member of OM&M commits fully: body and soul, to every note, every lyric, every show and every fan encounter. It is this uncompromising drive, paired with undeniable talent, that’s earned them over a Billion streams worldwide, Billboard #1 albums, Gold certifications, and personal tour invites from the likes of Metallica, Linkin Park, and Slipknot. Their return to Australia promises to be a cathartic celebration of resilience, unity, and the unbreakable bond with their global fanbase.
“Just when it felt like metalcore was hitting a plateau, Crystal Lake swoops in and revitalizes the genre… a mind-bending fusion of hardcore, metalcore, deathcore, nu metalcore, and even some ambient sounds… This is a whole different level of metalcore; there’s really nothing else out there like it. The tones, the stunning atmosphere—these are the things that set this band apart.” Sputnik Music
In the 6 years since their absence from Australia, Crystal Lake’s reputation has only grown more colossal as they have become a global force in heavy music. Fusing hardcore and metalcore with soaring melodies and crushing intensity; and with their relentless and electrifying stage presence, the band has built a worldwide following that transcends international borders.
More than a tour. This will be a reckoning.
