MUSIC NEWS: Ukrainian Heavies Jinjer Announce 2025 Australian Headline Run

 

Ukrainian metal juggernauts, Jinjer, are returning to Australia in February 2025 for their biggest Aussie tour to date - and they're bringing Canadian metal legends Kittie along for the ride! 


This explosive one-two punch promises to be an unforgettable assault on the senses, tearing through Australia with stops at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall, Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, Festival Hall Melbourne, Hindley St Music Hall Adelaide and Metropolis Fremantle.


This is the kind of metal showdown that will leave you breathless, exhilarated, and still craving more. Don’t miss out on what promises to be a show for the ages.


An unforgettable night of pure, unrelenting power.


By refusing to conform to the heavy metal rulebook, Jinjerhas forged a sound that is so uniquely their own that it‘s hard to describe it in words. The intensity of vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk combined with a sonic rollercoaster of chugging riffs, pulverising bass lines and intricate drums patterns has gained them over 300 million combined streams and views, making their albums some of the most revered and successful in modern heavy music! 


Fan favourites like Sit Stay Roll OverHome BackCall Me A Symbol and the game-changing Pisces explode with a fury most bands simply cant capture and showcase an incredibly catchy and unique mix of metalcore, djent, hardcore and groove metal that is flavoured with progressive elements. In 2024, Jinjer are at the top of their game, breaking every convention by doing things their very own way.

 

Over the past 15 years, the band has attained some remarkable milestones. Their latest studio album 2021’s Wallflowers, broke charts worldwide and they consistently tour globally. 


Captivating millions at prestigious festivals and playing sold-out headline shows the world over. 


The band's latest single, Rogue is another raging reminder that Jinjer never mince words when it comes to their music and continue to keep the pressure on with every move forward that they make!




And if that wasn’t enough, sharing the stage with them is none other than the trailblazing Kittie, who have returned with a vengeance after a 13 year hiatus. 


Crashing onto the scene in 1999  with their debut album Spit, Kittie evolved far beyond their nu-metal origins, developing a crushing, full-fledged metal sound across six albums. 


After their prolonged absence, Kittie came storming back this year with new album, Firea record that fuses every element of their past work into something even more volatile, proving they've lost none of their venom.


Having not toured Australia since 2012, Kittie’s return is nothing short of a metal revival. Expect a crash course in their discography that goes far beyond their nu-metal beginnings. From the venomous angst of Spit and the moshpit slam of Brackish to the progressive groove of What I Always Wanted and the hypnotic swagger of In Winter through to powerfully catchy new tracks like Vultures and One Foot in the GraveKittie’s set will be an intense journey through their evolution, one that old fans will savour, and new fans won’t forget.


For over a quarter of a century, Kittie have defied stereotypes and broken barriers for women in metal, inspiring legions of fans and artists across the globe. Their comeback to Australian shores will be a hero's welcome for long time fans and an initiation for those just discovering their ferocity.
