When thinking back about the growth and progression of Parkway Drive from their early years to the metal titans they have evolved into, you can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride.
Whether you jumped on board two decades ago with Killing With A Smile, or hopped on the bandwagon during their 20th Anniversary Tour, we've witnessed this band go from tearing up local Community Centre and High School Hall stages in their formative years, to taking on the world one breakdown at a time - and everything they learned along the way came to fruition when they performed at their biggest headline show down under at Qudos Bank Arena last year where 21,000 metalheads watched in awe as the Byron Bay boys paid homage to their early years with the Killing With A Smile Medley - which is now available for all to relive.
Australian fans have been well-fed these past few years and soon the UK and European audiences will catch a glimpse of Parkway's penultimate performance when their Anniversary Tour hits next month alongside fellow Aussies Thy Art Is Murder and The Amity Affliction.
Back home, we're waiting eagerly for Park Waves Festival to make its maiden voyage around the country in Feb/March 2026; as well as the release of the band's mind-blowing Sydney Opera House Live Album & Film - titled, HOME - also set for release in 2026 - as drummer Ben Gordon explained during our recent interview.
Settle in and bear witness to 11 minutes of Parkway Drive chaos and get those spirit fingers wiggling.
