Two of the all-time punk greats will be returning to Australia with pioneering California dynamos PENNYWISE and beloved Swedish trailblazers MILLENCOLIN set to co-headline a huge run down under.
For over 30 years, Swedish icons MILLENCOLIN have vividly put punk on the map. With their original line up still intact since forming back in 1992, MILLENCOLIN's debut album, 1994's Tiny Tunes, opened the floodgates that would shape the quartet's staggering career to come. Skyrocketing their popularity courtesy of the 2000 full-length Pennybridge Pioneers, the rock-infused dive beyond the band's earlier skate punk and ska leanings would ultimately spawn iconic tracks like No Cigar and Penguins & Polarbears, achieving infamy with No Cigar's addition to the soundtrack for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and ultimately finding the overall album scoring an ARIA Platinum certification.
One of punk rock's most famed and favourite acts to emerge out of Europe, MILLENCOLIN have played thousands of shows around the world, including as part of Warped Tour, Soundwave Festival and Big Day Out, multiple sold-out headline performances, tours with the likes of Bad Religion and The Offspring, and, most recently for Australians, at Good Things Festival in 2022. And never ones to rest on their laurels, MILLENCOLIN also continue to finesse their sonic creations, seen vividly via their 2019 album SOS, exploring political and darker themes without sacrificing their explosive energy and gripping melodic.
HEAVY caught up with Millencolin guitarist Mathias Färm to find out more.
