Arguably one of the most unique and captivating metal bands on earth, Apocalyptica have today announced their anticipated return to Australian shores! Presented by MJR Presents, the four-piece cello outfit are returning to play the biggest rooms they have ever played in Australia.
Having previously sold out solo runs around Australia, and surprised fans on the 2015 Soundwave Festival tour, the Finnish âcello metalâ group will return to Australia in September, for two brand new shows at some of the countryâs most prestigious halls; the brand new The Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane, the iconic Sydney Opera House and Melbourneâs Hamer Hall.
The Finnish, cello-driven rock opus, who changed the landscape of both heavy and classical music for years to come with the release of their 1996 album "Plays Metallica by Four Cellos", have built a reputation for incredible live shows, which consistently blurs the line between metal, classical, theatre and rock-opera. To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the album, the group re-released it, remastered with 3 bonus tracks on July 22, 2016. Added to this new version were brand new / never-before-released instrumental recordings of "Battery," "Nothing Else Matters" and "Seek & Destroy."Â
After playing over 170 "Plays Metallica by Four Cellos" concerts in more than 40 countries, Apocalyptica went on to release seven critically acclaimed albums, selling over 6 million records worldwide.
Over the course of their career, Apocalyptica have played at venues like the Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia and have brought places like the Summit in Denver to capacity.

Everything from the observatory, the three bands to the great beer. This venue was amazing and I cannot wait to see, hopefully all three together again, when they come back to San Diego!!
The songs were amazing with great energy from all three bands that played that day. Good stuff!
Apocalyptica was incredible. The talent, creativity, showmanship and technical skills made for a thoroughly exciting show! I took my 20 yr old daughter and these guys made another generation of fan. The opening bands were top notch! Leprous was fantastic and energetic. Wheel was genuine and put on a solid show. They met fans after the show and were very cool.
Great place, very Organized and amazing atmospher!!
Listening to their albums and hearing it described, I would not have believed the show. What an incredible performance. Every song was so well done and the energy was incredible. They are great performers and clearly enjoy doing live shows. I won't miss them when they come to town.
The bands were good, the sound was good, the atmosphere was good. Wish there more food to choose from and not just cheese or pepperoni pizza, which were kinda salty and the drinks were a bit overpriced, but nonetheless, the experience was well worth the money. Great job!
Seeing these guys was an amazing experience! If you get the chance to go you have to! Great musicians at a great venue. Weâll definitely be going the next time theyâre in town!
This venue and this band deserve a better crowd. Vast majority of people there were stiff as a board listening to some of the most intense demonic symphonies that the world has to offer. Me personally, i did my best but could not contain my wrathful enthusiasm at these beautiful people expressing the pain and anger of their countless ancestors destroyed by the cold, destroyed by war, destroyed by the unstoppable cruelties of life. Any and every repressed emotion within me was released that fateful night. All this goes for Apocalyptica and Leprous. Absolutely mind boggling performances. May God bless each and every one of them.
It was way better than I expected. The first band was not so much, but it improved with each one. The venue was amazing too. Who knew cellos and drums could make that amazing show?
This was by far the best concert I've been to. We are definitely wanting to see them in concert again. Everything was amazing and the energy was fantastic. We heard new music we hadn't heard before that we really liked and we love finding new music to listen to.
I will be honest I only attended this concert for the supporting band, "Leprous". When I arrived the opener who was a band named "Wheel" was playing and they were amazing as well. Honestly, the venue, the ticket scanning and layout was perfect. I have zero complaints other than I drove three hours one way to attend this show. It was worth every dollar and every mile.
Apocalyptica , was expecting a great show. Far surpassed that. Blew me away, some serious talent!
We actually saw Apocalyptica earlier in the year when Lacuna Coil opened, and they were fantastic. We went back to see them again later in the year, because Leprous was touring with them. They were also opened by Wheel, who did sound as expected and like their CD. Leprous is currently touring without a bassist, but were awesome. I was a little worried during the first song, because something didnât quite sound right, but it was quickly corrected. And, lastly, Apocalyptica was better than they were at the beginning of the tour. They had a solid, entertaining performance and a few differences from the earlier shows. Frankie actually played the drums for a bit, and they brought Leprousâs cellist on stage. Worth the time and money all the way.
I bought the tickets because Franky Perez was supposed to be with them. In fact he's the only reason. I sat through 2 bands that were ok. Only to have them tell us Franky wasn't there. Now I understand this wasn't ticketmasters or TLA's fault but some kind of notice would've been nice. I spent about 200$ to sit in the most uncomfortable seats on the planet for nothing.
Did not disappoint. Apocalyptica was everything I hoped for and more. I could have stayed and watched another hour. Great night of progressive metal with Wheel (reminded me of Tool), avant garde metal with Leprous and symphonic metal with Apocalyptica. My wife even enjoyed it. I will definitely catch Apocalyptica next time they are in the area.
These guys are high energy, deliver a positive message to the crowd, and are just all around a feel good group. Their music is amazing.
disappointed that Franky Perez was not with the band at this show but the lead singer for Wheel did a decent job of filling in for him. He actually sounded a lot better when he sang with Apocalyptica than when he sang with his own band Wheel. The opening band Wheel wasn't very good, their instruments were way to loud so they drowned out the singer who it turned out has a good voice. The second band, Leprous, just didn't sound good to me. Possibly some of my disappoint with the opening bands was caused by the overpoweringly loud instruments and the extremely distracting lights that kept shining right into my eyes form the stage. Apocalyptica sounded great, their show was great, the coordination on stage between the members, the sound and lighting was excellent. I enjoyed their original songs but I do wish they would have played more Metallica and other covers because it is so unique how they put their own incredible sound to the iconic songs.
Itâs was definitely one of the best concerts Iâve seen from them :)
The band has been around for awhile now and the members have a contagious spirit of passion and life. I was left feeling good for days.
