Manchester death metal juggernauts Ingested are heading back to Australia for their first-ever headline tour down under, and drummer Lyn Jeffs promises it’s going to be bigger, heavier, and more intense than ever. After blowing minds as support in 2023, the band is returning to take centre stage in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane this July — and fans better be ready.
Kicking off July 24th at Max Watts in Melbourne, followed by Crowbar in Sydney on July 25th, and wrapping up at Brisbane’s Cold Day Festival at The Triffid on July 26th, Ingested are set to deliver a career-spanning set packed with brutal breakdowns and fan favourites. Tickets are on sale now at Oztix for Melbourne and Sydney, and Moshtix for Brisbane.
Speaking with Jaimunji from Metal on Tap, Lyn Jeffs reflected on the excitement of returning to Aussie shores as headliners, saying,
“We’ve been itching to come back and do a headline tour. There’s a whole different energy when it’s your show. We’ve got more time, more control, and more to unleash.”
Ingested have been unstoppable in recent years, touring with deathcore heavyweights like Lorna Shore, Cannibal Corpse, and Fit For An Autopsy. But for Jeffs, the smaller, sweatier shows offer something special. “There’s nothing like a 300-400 cap venue, no barrier, just pure energy,” he shared. “That’s where we come alive.”
Fans can expect a longer set this time around, with Ingested digging deeper into their extensive discography — a brutal journey through nearly two decades of UK slam death metal evolution. From early classics to recent bangers, this tour is built for diehards and new converts alike.
Jet lag? Doesn’t matter. As Lyn Jeffs admits, the last Aussie run felt like “a month in five days,” but it’s the energy of the crowd that fuels the fire. “You just lose yourself in the show,” he said.
With post-COVID crowds going harder than ever and Ingested delivering one of the most intense live experiences in extreme metal, this tour is shaping up to be unmissable. Whether you saw them last time or missed the mayhem, now’s your chance to witness Ingested in full force.
