Fresh off their new album Second Place Superstar, the Kiwi powerhouse is returning home to deliver a career spanning set. These shows mark a major homecoming for the band bringing years of global touring experience, relentless evolution, and their most refined, high energy material back to local stages.

Joining the bill, Melrose Avenue arrived in New Zealand following a standout year of international growth. Driven by their hit single “Suffocate,” which surpassed 10 million streams, the Melbourne based group completed sold out runs across both Europe and North America, establishing themselves as one of Australia’s fastest-rising rock exports.

Combining the raw intensity of heavy metal with high gloss electronic and hip hop influences, Banks Arcade are delivering their most complete live show to date. Expect an unmissable night of heavy music.
