Chat Pile Announce Tour Supports For Australian Tour This Month
Sludgy noise superstars CHAT PILE have just sold out their Melbourne headline show & announced the supports for their first ever Australia and New Zealand tour for June 2026.
Fusing elements of post-punk, nu metal, grunge, they have earned a cult following for their eclectic take on what they simply deem ‘noise rock.’
The complete lineups for each show are very much in the same vein.
Joining Chat Pile in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland and Wellington is Kiwi sludge metal band BEASTWARS. The veteran group originally formed in the late 1980s and have abided by one steadfast maxim ever since: obey the riff.
Local supports will include Spacerhead (Perth), Hence Confetti (Sydney), Bentham’s Head (Melbourne), Slowcut (Brisbane) & Rocky’s Pride and Joy (Adelaide).
Having already sold out two shows at Hobart’s Dark Mofo Festival upon announce, the seven year old quartet has now sold out their headline show at Max Watts Melbourne. They will also play dates in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Auckland and Wellington, with tickets running low for Sydney & Wellington.
Formed in 2019, the band took their name from piles of chat, byproducts of mining which are commonly found throughout northeast Oklahoma. Their adopted stage names Raygun Busch, Luther Manhole, Stin and Cap’n Ron were conjured as a way of avoiding identification from previous employers.
Following the band’s self-released debut This Dungeon Earth, they were signed to The Flenser in 2020 and released their debut album God’s Country. The album received broad acclaim, including ‘Best New Music’ on Pitchfork.
Their second full-length record Cool World was releasing in 2024. They went on to headline Roadburn Festival 2025 and tour extensively, earning a reputation for an incendiary live show.
It’s time. Dig into Chat Pile this June!
