Parkway Drive have announced a national anniversary tour set for August, celebrating two of their most revered albums, 2005’s Killing With a Smile, and 2007’s Horizons.
The tour will kick off at Perth’s Metro City on August 1st and 2nd, before heading to Adelaide’s Hindley St Music Hall on August 4th and 5th, Forum Melbourne on August 9th and 10th, Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on August 12th and 13th, and will conclude at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on August 15th and 16th.
The first night in each city, the band will play Killing With a Smile, before Horizons at the second show, alongside a selection of their biggest hits each night.
Tickets will go on sale at 12pm (local) on Thursday, June 25th. See here for details.
“This idea kicked off when we started working on the KWAS [Killing With a Smile] medley for our last tour. Revisiting Killing With a Smile with a fresh perspective lit a spark that remained after we finished up, so we figured rather than let the spark die, let’s take it and create something special,” frontman Winston McCall said.
“For all the people who have waited to hear these songs live again, for all the people that never got the chance to see these two albums on stage, for ourselves reconnecting with the core energy at the heart of this band, this tour is for all of us. Some of these songs haven’t been played live in over a decade, some have never been played at all. You wanted it, now you got it, so let’s make this moment worth the wait.”
The tour announcement comes amid a turbulent period for the band following the conviction of Jed Gordon – the brother of drummer Ben Gordon and a former merchandise manager for the band – on an underage sex offence charge.

After releasing two written statements, McCall took to Instagram in late March to address the matter in a video.
