About the Festival
Park Waves made its debut in Germany last year, with Parkway Drive sharing the stage with notable acts like Fit For a King and Australian metal giants Thy Art Is Murder. While the lineup for the 2026 Australian festival remains under wraps, the band’s recent history suggests it could be quite impressive.
“Parkway Drive is becoming the AC/DC of their generation,” was noted in a review, “and they have solidified their legacy potential with a show like this one.”
Earlier this year, the band released “Sacred,” marking their first new release since the 2022 album Darker Still. In addition to Park Waves, Parkway Drive is also set to headline Australia’s inaugural heavy metal cruise in 2026.
For now, fans can register for updates on parkwavesfestival.com to stay informed about lineup details. Who are you hoping to see perform?
