About

Brisbane's explosive emo/metalcore juggernauts, Stepson, are set to ignite 2024 with a return to their roots - the Discover Lonely Tour. The band is fresh off the heels of recording sessions with Callan Orr of Avalanche Studios (keep your eyes peeled for new music) and is now preparing for a return to more intimate venues, where Stepson will revisit spaces not seen in years, delivering an immersive experience for fans.

Riding high on the success of their 2021 debut album, "Help Me, Help You," and the impactful 2022 single "Eraser," Stepson has conquered two triumphant national headlining tours and provided support to Australian heavyweights Northlane and Ocean Sleeper across the nation. Their achievements also secured them highly sought-after spots at prestigious festivals such as Unify Gathering and Full Tilt. Venturing beyond their home turf, Stepson toured Europe and the UK, sharing stages with Polaris, Alpha Wolf, and Great American Ghost. With these experiences under their belt, the band is now in peak form, poised to deliver an electrifying performance that will undoubtedly leave fans in awe.

This tour will see the band perform 7 shows throughout April, playing in Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Newcastle, Wollongong, Sydney and Brisbane. These are the most intimate shows the band has played in years, get your tickets while you can!

As Stepson unveils this new era, they will be joined by long-time friends, Sydney metalcore tyrants Heists, bringing their own brand of unique intensity to the tour. Also joining the ranks of support for the Discover Lonely Tour are Brisbane's own Upsetter, adding their cathartic blend of shoegaze and emo to the lineup. This will be the band’s debut national tour and is not to be missed.
