About the event
Sludgy noise superstars Chat Pile bring their first ever Australia and New Zealand tour to Brisbane in June 2026. Fusing post-punk, nu metal, grunge, and experimental elements into what they call noise rock, the Oklahoma-based quartet have earned a devoted following for their uncompromising and eclectic sound. Known for an incendiary live show and recently headlining Roadburn Festival 2025, Chat Pile released their acclaimed debut 'God's Country' to Pitchfork's 'Best New Music' distinction, followed by their 2024 full-length 'Cool World'. Joining them is New Zealand's Beastwars, a veteran sludge metal band formed in the late 1980s, whose riff-driven heaviness complements Chat Pile's abrasive approach to noise rock.
