Parkway Drive have announced a 2025 arena tour of the UK and Europe.

The Australian metalcore five-piece will play across the continent from September to November next year, supported by countrymen Thy Art Is Murder and The Amity Affliction. The full list of dates is below and tickets go on sale Friday, October 18, at 10am UK time.

Singer Winston McCall comments: “This is going to be next-level. We’ve always prided ourselves on delivering the best show possible, but our 20 Year Anniversary Tour will take everything to a new extreme. We’re bringing more fire, more energy, and a production that’s bigger than anything we’ve done before.”

The announcement follows Parkway’s recent completion of the Australian leg of their 20th anniversary tour. The band were supported by I Prevail, The Ghost Inside and Void Of Vision during the run and sold out four of the seven shows they played.

Parkway released their latest album, Darker Still, in September 2022. The release marked the end of a hiatus the band started the preceding April. In an interview with Metal Hammer, McCall chalked the break up to personal problems that forced Parkway to enter therapy together.

“We all have our roles in this band,” he told journalist Stephen Hill, “and my role is the face and the emotional core.

“I had been pouring so much of myself into this band for so long, and the other guys are not lyrics guys, they’re just music guys, so I don’t think they understood just how hard it was for me to get up and connect with these songs every single night,” the vocalist continued. “You know, [2018 album] Reverence was dealing with all this grief and pain, and I’m the one who had to inhabit that all the time.”

Parkway have just one other concert confirmed ahead of the European tour. It’s scheduled to take place onboard the Shiprocked Cruise from Miami, Florida in January. Get details via the band’s website.
