Quicksand

The tour follows the release of Quicksand’s new album Bring on the Psychics and their long-awaited return to New Zealand in 2023.

Formed in New York City in 1990, Quicksand emerged from the city’s hardcore scene before carving out a sound entirely their own. Landmark albums Slip and Manic Compression helped define their distinctive collision of crushing guitars, melody and atmosphere, influencing generations of alternative, post-hardcore and heavy music.

In 2027, Quicksand return with Bring on the Psychics, adding a new chapter to that catalogue alongside the songs that have made the band so enduring.

Joining Quicksand across both New Zealand shows are Atlanta noise-rock heavyweights WHORES.

Known for punishing riffs, abrasive intensity and ferocious live shows, Whores. return Down Under for the first time since touring Australia and New Zealand in 2022.
