Parkway Drive

Founded in Byron Bay in 2003, Parkway Drive have established themselves as a driving force in the world of heavy music with a remarkable discography. Their eight studio albums include Don't Close Your Eyes (2004), Killing with a Smile (2005), Horizons (2007), Deep Blue (2010), Atlas (2012), IRE (2015) and Reverence (2018). The 2022 album, Darker Still, achieved considerable chart success, reaching number 5 in Germany and Switzerland, number 7 in Austria, number 11 in Belgium, number 2 in the UK Rock and Metal Charts and number 4 in the current US Hard Rock Music Album Charts. In Australia, Darker Still was the third consecutive No. 1 album of Parkway Drive and earned them the 2023 ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album. The album reflects the vision that frontman Winston McCall and his bandmates - guitarists Jeff Ling and Luke Kilpatrick, bassist Jia O'Connor and drummer Ben Gordon - have pursued since their beginnings in 2003.

Parkway Drive celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2023. Since then, they have evolved of metal underdogs into a global festival headliner. Their journey is highlighted by eight of critically acclaimed albums from fans and critics alike. The band's live performances are legendary and known for their high energy and spectacular productions. In September 2024, Parkway Drive kicked off their 20th anniversary tour with their biggest headlining tour in Australia to date. The tour includes the band's biggest production to date and is a worthy tribute to their two-decade rise to metal greatness.
