/ Megan MossPresented by: Destroy All Lines & UNFD
Australia, prepare for a vortex of metal, punk, and reggae in 2024, with Japanese metal punx SiM today announcing their first ever headline tour down under next year.
Appearing as part of their PLAYDEAD World Tour, SiM will arrive armed in Australia with their explosive new album PLAYDEAD. Kicking off on Thursday 12 September at The Zoo in Brisbane, SiM will also head to Sydney's Crowbar before closing out on Sunday 15 September at Max Watts in Melbourne.
Hailing from Shonan, Kanagawa in Japan, SiM have released six full length albums since forming in 2004 alongside lending their material to video games and other animes, with recent single RED also acting as the theme song for the new season of the Netflix anime series Kengan Ashura. Exploding onto the international scene in early 2022, SiM took the world by storm when their single The Rumbling was tapped as the theme song for the anime Attack On Titan. With the track now garnering over 300 million streams and snagging the #1 Metal Song on Spotify in the same year, The Rumbling would go to spend seven straight weeks on the Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs.
Releasing their sixth studio album PLAYDEAD this year, SiM exceeded the hype that accompanied their various singles unleashed along the way, with the album balancing a diverse array of genres alongside cohesion, heaviness and tectonic execution. And following their headlining performance at the 2022 Crunchyroll Expo and sold-out headlining shows at London's O2 Islington and Los Angeles' Echoplex, SiM will close out 2023 touring North America with Dance Gavin Dance, with 2024 not only bringing the group to Australia, but also to Europe, the UK and North America for some headline shows and festival appearances.
With their innovative blend of ska, punk, reggae and metal lending SiM to filling arenas and wowing festival stages, including at their own annual event Dead Pop Festival, a SiM live show is always guaranteed to be polished, powerful and downright unforgettable.
