Make Them Suffer Australia Tour 2027

Make Them Suffer have not announced any 2027 concerts in Australia or New Zealand. As of 9 October 2026 there is no headline tour, festival slot or one-off show on sale for the Perth metalcore band in either country. Their most recent home dates were three June 2026 shows at Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney and the Riverstage in Brisbane.

The band have been one of the hardest-working live acts in Australian heavy music over the last few years. Since the Doomswitch Tour of October 2022 they have played a tenth-anniversary tour of their debut album Neverbloom, two runs of arena support dates, three December festival weekends, the Suffer Forever Tour behind their self-titled fifth album and an 18-date regional tour in the winter of 2025. A gap in the calendar rarely lasts long.

This page gathers what is known about Make Them Suffer in Australia and New Zealand: every show in the setlist archive from 2018 to 2026, the venues and towns they have played, the songs that anchor their sets and the albums behind them. It will be updated as soon as the band confirms anything for 2027.

Make Them Suffer Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about Make Them Suffer concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. The band's 2026 calendar has included international festival bookings, among them Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky, which was announced in February 2026 for September, and the three Australian dates in June. No new headline tour has been published for either country.

The latest album is the self-titled Make Them Suffer, released on 8 November 2024 through SharpTone, which reached No. 38 in Australia. Its touring cycle at home has already included the Suffer Forever Tour in August and September 2024 and the regional run of June and July 2025. No sixth album or release date had been officially announced by 9 October 2026, so there is no new record yet to anchor a 2027 tour.

The pattern of recent years shows how the band tends to work, without predicting anything: a capital-city headline tour around a release, followed by a long regional run, with support slots and summer festival dates in between. Whether 2027 follows that shape will only be clear when dates are announced.

New Zealand fans should be especially careful with any listing. The band's last visit there was in November 2024, at The Tuning Fork in Auckland and Meow Nui in Wellington, and nothing has been announced for New Zealand since.

Make Them Suffer Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

December has become a regular fixture for Make Them Suffer. The setlist archive lists stage-numbered festival sets in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane on 1, 2 and 3 December 2023 and again on 5, 6 and 7 December 2025, each a single weekend touring the three east-coast cities.

Make Them Suffer Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Make Them Suffer formed in Perth, Western Australia, in 2008, with Sean Harmanis on vocals. The debut album Neverbloom, released by Roadrunner on 25 May 2012, reached No. 56 on the ARIA Albums Chart. Guitarist Nick McLernon joined in 2011.

Old Souls followed on 28 May 2015, also through Roadrunner, and climbed to No. 30; from that record Harmanis also took on clean vocals. The band moved to Rise Records for Worlds Apart, released on 28 July 2017, which peaked at No. 29, and headlined a world tour that year with Wage War, Enterprise Earth and Alpha Wolf. Bassist Jaya Jeffery joined in 2017 and drummer Jordan Mather in 2018.

How to Survive a Funeral, released on 19 June 2020, became their highest-charting album at No. 17 in Australia, though the pandemic delayed its touring cycle. Keyboardist and vocalist Alex Reade joined in 2022, completing the current line-up, and "Doomswitch", first played on the October 2022 tour of the same name, became one of the band's most-played songs.

The self-titled fifth album came out on 8 November 2024 through SharpTone and reached No. 38. "Epitaph" won Most Performed Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Work at the 2025 APRA Music Awards, and "Tether" was nominated in the same category in 2026. The band have since added international festival dates to a calendar still built mainly around Australian touring.

Make Them Suffer Australia Tour 2027: a band built in Perth

Make Them Suffer come from Perth, and the West has always had its own place on their tours. The archive lists Mandurah, Dunsborough and Bar1 Nightclub in Perth in 2019, Amplifier in 2022, Magnet House in 2023, Metropolis Fremantle in 2024, and Bunbury and Freo.Social in Fremantle in 2025.

Fremantle has closed the band's two most recent headline tours, on 7 September 2024 and 6 July 2025, which makes it a natural last stop. Whether a future tour would end there again has not been announced.

Make Them Suffer Australia Tour 2027: touring the regions

The 2025 regional tour was a long run outside the capitals: 18 dates over three and a half weeks, from Mackay and Gladstone in Queensland to Castlemaine in central Victoria, Hobart in Tasmania and Bunbury in Western Australia.

The set was the same 13 songs most nights, opening with "Epitaph", "Bones" and "Uncharted" and closing with "Erase Me", "Doomswitch" and "Widower". Suburban pubs such as the Miranda Hotel and The Commercial Hotel sat alongside regional rooms like Drifter's Wharf in Gosford and Beer Deluxe in Albury.

No regional dates have been announced for 2027. If the band repeats the approach, the alert on this page will cover any town added.

Make Them Suffer Australia Tour 2027: arena nights and the Riverstage

The April 2024 support run gave the band their largest Australian audiences: John Cain Arena, Rod Laver Arena, Qudos Bank Arena twice, Adelaide Entertainment Centre and two nights at the Riverstage. The seven-song set was built for impact, from "Ghost of Me" and "Bones" to "Erase Me" and "Doomswitch".

The Riverstage in Brisbane appears in three different years in the archive: September 2019, April 2024 (two nights) and June 2026. In June 2026 they returned to big rooms again, with Margaret Court Arena and the Hordern Pavilion alongside it.

Make Them Suffer Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and Wellington

New Zealand has seen the band only twice in the archive: Valhalla in Wellington in August 2018, and a two-night run in November 2024 at The Tuning Fork in Auckland and Meow Nui in Wellington, playing the full 14-song Suffer Forever set.

There is no New Zealand date announced for 2027 or for the rest of 2026.

Make Them Suffer Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

A Make Them Suffer headline show runs to 13 to 15 songs. On the Suffer Forever Tour in 2024 the band opened with "Epitaph", "Bones" and "Uncharted", played "Vortex (Interdimensional Spiral Hindering Inexplicable Euphoria)", "Ether", "Oscillator", "Ghost of Me", "Soul Decay", "The Attendant", "Hollowed Heart", "Blood Moon" and "Contraband", and closed with "Erase Me", "Doomswitch" and, on most nights, "Widower".

The Neverbloom anniversary shows of 2023 were a one-off: the album's songs from "Neverbloom" and "Morrow (Weaver of Dreams)" through "Elegies", "Maelstrom", "The Well", "Weeping Wastelands", "Widower" and "Chronicles", followed by "Ghost of Me" and "Doomswitch".

Support and festival sets are shorter, between seven and twelve songs. The June 2026 shows ran nine: "Ghost of Me", "Epitaph", "Mana God", "Oscillator", "Ether", "Soul Decay", "Bones", "Erase Me" and "Doomswitch". "Doomswitch" and "Erase Me" have closed almost every set since 2022.
