PALEFACE SWISS are the fastest rising force in heavy music today. Anyone who has borne witness to their live shows, critics and fans alike, can attest that their dominance is unassailable. Their trajectory unstoppable.
Having sold every ticket to every show (with the exception of Newcastle!!!) on their 2025 Australian tour, PALEFACE SWISS return in January 2027 armed with a new EP, a bigger show and 2 very incredible special guests
Hailing from Zürich, Paleface Swiss formed in 2017 and have rapidly climbed the ranks of the global heavy music scene with each album and EP. Frontman Marc “Zelli” Zellweger’s commanding vocals, paired with crushing riffs from guitarist Yannick Lehmann, thunderous bass from Tommy Lee, and pummelling drums courtesy of Luigi Paraventi, delivering a sound that blends old-school hardcore brutality with a full array of modern heaviness.
“Our last headline tour in Australia was absolutely insane. The energy, the crowds, the love you gave us! It became one of the greatest tours we’ve ever done. Coming back in 2027 honestly means the world to us. We love Australia, and we can’t wait to tear these rooms apart with you again.” Zelli
“There is just something so special about Paleface Swiss live. Banging Track after banging track, fire erupting from the stage, carnage in the pit and a strong sense of union amongst everyone in the building… You have not lived until you have see Paleface Swiss perform live.” GNHBL.com
Joining the fray for this run of shows are Canadian metalcore legends, COUNTERPARTS and Colorado’s heavyweight contenders, FOX LAKE.
COUNTERPARTS, fronted by metalcore’s irrepressible poet laureate and agent provocateur, Brendan Murphy, are headliners in their own rights having already smashed their way around Australia to sell-out crowds and great acclaim.
Hamilton, Ontario’s Counterparts are one of, if not the most respected names in the scene with a well earned a reputation for electrifying live performances and deeply personal songwriting that resonates with fans worldwide.
Putting the icing on this already insane tour are FOX LAKE. Formed in 2017 in Denver, Colorado, Fox Lake fuse heavy riffs, hip-hop, relentless energy and hardcore attitude into a powerful live spectacle. They are a growing global presence and redefining heavy music on their own terms.
