EVENT INFO:
Memphis modern heavy breakouts Sleep Theory are finally heading to Australia! The fast rising four-piece announce their first-ever Australian headline tour, joined by special guests RIVALS (US).
Sleep Theory are in a lane of their own, continuously defying the boundaries of rock and metal by expertly melding soulful R&B and infectious pop into their sound. The band delivers the dynamic, heavy bounce and massive vocal hooks that the rock world desperately needs, helmed by powerhouse frontman Cullen Moore. A singer who outmatches nearly all his peers, Moore recalls the most classic and timeless pop, R&B, and rock n’ roll vocalists of the last several decades.
In less than two years, Sleep Theory have become one of the most played artists on Active Rock radio, with breakout single "Fallout" emerging as one of the genre's biggest songs of 2024. Their rapid rise has earned praise from artists including Jelly Roll and Disturbed's David Draiman, while sharing stages with the likes of Shinedown, Falling In Reverse, Beartooth, Nothing More, Wage War, Set It Off and Daughtry.
Across their acclaimed debut album Afterglow and breakthrough Paper Hearts EP, Sleep Theory's rich, emotional sound shines through, combining anthemic heavy rock like Linkin Park and Bring Me The Horizon with pop and R&B, equally adept at breakdowns and ballads. Amazon Music, Loudwire, and Revolver named them an Artist To Watch in 2025.
Joining Sleep Theory across the tour will be Los Angeles duo RIVALS. In a world where music often borders on the formulaic, the dark pop-rock duo challenge tradition, crafting moods into irresistible melodies and connecting with fans on a visceral level. The pair concoct a potent combination of powerful songwriting and energetic performances that sets them apart, marking them as a truly unique presence in the modern music scene. They sketch an intriguing line between the bright allure of pop-rock and the realm of wilting post-hardcore. Their ability to vacillate between these styles produces an earth-shattering effect that is nothing short of mesmerising.
Don’t miss Sleep Theory’s first-ever Australian tour in February 2027!
