What happens when two of the most mind-bending, genre-defying musicians of the digital age step off your screen and onto a stage together?
You get ESCAPE THE INTERNET—a tour that promises to blow minds, shake walls, and inspire a new generation of guitarists and bassists alike.
This October and November, Austrian shred virtuoso Bernth and British bass innovator Charles Berthoud are heading to Australia for three very special events that transcend the typical live gig. With millions of followers, viral collaborations, and countless hours of jaw-dropping content between them, these two have built digital empires—but now, it’s time for them to bring the energy, emotion, and explosiveness of their art into the physical world.
From Viral Fame to Real-World Flames
Bernth is no stranger to extremes. From the brutal stages of Belphegor to platinum-selling chart-toppers with Seiler und Speer, and his viral metal crossover with David Hasselhoff (yes, that Hoff), Bernth has crafted a guitar voice that is as cinematic as it is technical. His solo album Elevation earned critical acclaim and his YouTube content continues to educate and mesmerize with every click and riff.
Meanwhile, Charles Berthoud has redefined what it means to play bass. With a style that blends tapping, slap, groove, and unrelenting creativity, Charles has earned over 3 million social media followers and a reputation as one of the most forward-thinking bassists alive. His playing is fluid, fearless, and often laugh-out-loud clever—reminding fans that you can be virtuosic without ever losing joy or expression.
Together, their chemistry is undeniable. After a successful European tour, they’re taking Escape The Internet global—Australia being one of the first stops to witness this dynamic duo in person.
Three Dates. One Mission.

The Omnific Join the Adventure
Adding even more weight to an already stacked bill are Melbourne’s very own The Omnific—a bass-led instrumental trio making waves worldwide with their blend of prog, djent, funk, and synth-heavy grooves. With a global fanbase, critical acclaim, and next-level live shows, The Omnific are the perfect addition to a night that celebrates musical exploration and boundary-pushing creativity.

This tour isn’t just about technical skill—it’s about connection. It’s about seeing two self-made, fiercely talented artists who built something massive online now bringing it directly to the people.
Bernth and Charles represent a new breed of musician. They’ve shattered the gatekeeping systems of old and brought world-class artistry to fans across borders, screens, and time zones. Now, they’re stepping out from behind the algorithm and onto the stage—ready to inspire, ignite, and absolutely level Australian venues this spring.
