KYLESA have announced their return to Australia and New Zealand. After more than a decade away, the legendary American group brings their iconic blend of stoner rock, psych, sludge, metal and punk to venues across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland & Wellington.
Kylesa is a force of nature, a band whose sonic range and primal heaviness stunned & awed listeners for 15 years before they went dark in 2016. Formed in Savannah, Georgia in 2001, the group made their name with a series of EPs and records and relentless touring schedule. They gained a legion of fans from all over the world and dipped their toes into several different scenes as “Stoner Metal” or “Psych Metal / Indie Sludge” wasn’t necessarily on the menu. Pulling from indie rock, punk, classic heavy metal, doom, death, psychedelic and kraut rock, the band really sound like no one else.
Journalist David Peisner of Spin described them as 'dark psych-metal titans', practicing an 'aggressive, but hazy, stoner vibe...a strange amalgamation of Black Sabbath, Black Flag and early Pink Floyd.'
Lead by guitar and vocal duo Laura Pleasants and Phillip Cope, Kylesa have picked up where they left off with a legendary new rhythm section in tow featuring Roy Mayorga (Nausea, Soulfly, Stone Sour, Ministry, Jerry Cantrell) & John John Jesse (Nausea) rounding out the lineup.
Kylesa cemented their place as key figures in creating the Georgia metal scene by bringing forth a unique, unmatched, experimental wall of sound that is as relevant today as it was at the time.
They returned to perform at the 2025 Roadburn Festival, followed by announcements from ArcTanGent Festival, Inferno Fest and A Colossal Weekend. Since then they have made selective appearances at festivals and theatres across the globe and will finally descend on Australian and New Zealand shores in February 2027.
Support in Australia comes from renowned post-rock trio Solkyri, whose pummelling riffs and delicate melodies underpin an electric live show that has seen them tour across the UK, EU and AUS, alongside acts such as Trail of Dead, We Lost The Sea, sleepmakeswaves, Blackwater Holylight and more.
