Australia Meets America in a Double Dose of Hard Rock Mayhem This November
This November, prepare for a sonic collision of continents as HEAVYFEST storms into Sydney Harbour and Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley for two monster events celebrating the best of hard rock from both sides of the Pacific. Headlined by BLVD OF EYES, featuring Chloe Trujillo and Mark Dalbeth, and joined by Nebraska glam lords The Midnight Devils, these shows promise two very different but equally electrifying experiences under the HEAVY, XMusic, and REP Management banners.
🎤 BLVD OF EYES – The Rise of a Transcontinental Force
Born from a chance meeting at an LA Green Event in 2021, Chloe Trujillo (yes, daughter of THAT Trujillo) and New Zealand-born bassist Mark Dalbeth forged a connection that birthed BLVD OF EYES – a hard-hitting, emotionally charged outfit with two acclaimed EPs under their belt: Heavy Peace and the recently dropped Buying Lies For The Truth Seeker, which features none other than Ray Luzier of Korn on drums.
Their full-force live band features Kevin Hicklin on guitar and Lullah Trujillo – Chloe’s daughter – bringing serious groove behind the kit. After hitting 20+ stages and making their name in 2024, BLVD OF EYES are locked in with Australia’s own XMusic and will drop their brand-new EP on November 21, just in time to tear it up on tour.
💄 THE MIDNIGHT DEVILS – Glam, Grit, and Good Times
Flying the glittery banner of high-voltage glam and sleaze, The Midnight Devils are returning to Aussie shores less than 12 months after their last whirlwind tour. Off the back of their latest record So Hard It Hurts and new single “Shock The World,” these Nebraska rockers are ready to party with fans once more.
Having cut their teeth supporting Enuff Z’Nuff, Pretty Boy Floyd, and more, these boys don’t just play shows – they ignite them. And with the Get Laid In The USA Tour raging across 2025, their Aussie comeback is perfectly timed.
