Arch Enemy will bring their energized live show to Australia and New Zealand in February.

Swedish melodic death metal mainstays Arch Enemy have announced a tour of Australia and New Zealand for February 2023.

Delivering a maelstrom of diamond-hard riffing wrapped around cinematic melodies, thunderous drumming and towering vocals, Arch Enemy released their latest album Deceivers earlier this year. Warmly received by fans and critics alike, Deceivers has further established the band's legacy as one of the finest and most consistent acts in the genre.

With Alissa White-Gluz out front for nearly ten years now, the guitar wizardry of Michael Amott and Jeff Loomis, and the thundering rhythm section of Daniel Erlandsson (drums) and Sharlee D’Angelo (bass), Arch Enemy will bring their energized live show to Australia and New Zealand in February.

The tour will kick off in Auckland on Sunday, February 12 before hitting Australia for shows in Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle. The tour will be Arch Enemy's first visit to Australia since 2018's Will To Power tour. Recent European setlists suggest Aussie fans are in for a quality mix of the band's greatest hits, fan favourites and tracks from Deceivers.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 11 am AEDT on Thursday, 13 October with a pre-sale available from 9:30 am on Wednesday, 12 October.
