About Parkway Drive:
Formed in Byron Bay in 2003, Parkway Drive have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the world of heavy music with a remarkable discography and worldwide reputation. Their eight studio albums, all released on Epitaph, include Don't Close Your Eyes (2004), Killing with a Smile (2005), Horizons (2007), Deep Blue (2010), Atlas (2012), IRE (2015), Reverence (2018) and Darker Still (2022). The last album Darker Still achieved considerable chart success, reaching number 5 in Germany and Switzerland, number 7 in Austria, number 11 in Belgium, number 2 in the UK on the Rock & Metal Charts and number 4 in the USA on the Current Hard Rock Music Album Charts.
In Australia, Darker Still was Parkway Drive's third consecutive #1 album on the ARIA charts and earned them the 2023 ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Album. The album represents a milestone for the band and reflects the vision that frontman Winston McCall and his bandmates - guitarists Jeff Ling and Luke Kilpatrick, bassist Jia O'Connor and drummer Ben Gordon - have pursued since their beginnings in 2003.
 

In 2023, Parkway Drive celebrated their 20th anniversary, a period in which they evolved from metal underdogs to a worldwide festival headliner. Seven critically and popularly acclaimed albums, six of which went gold in Australia, three documentaries, a live album and countless live performances are testament to their journey.
The band's live performances are legendary and renowned for their high energy and spectacular production. Parkway Drive's shows, which sell out arenas and amaze festival audiences, include headlining appearances at Wacken, Good Things Festival and So What? Festival as well as joint appearances with metal giants such as Metallica, Lamb Of God, Soulfly and Killswitch Engage.
In September 2024, Parkway Drive celebrated their 20th anniversary with their biggest headline tour of Australia to date, playing to sold-out arenas across the country. The tour was a world premiere featuring the band's biggest production to date, a fitting tribute to their two-decade rise to metal greatness.
