Australian hardcore five-piece SPEED have charted a rapid ascent to iconic status within their genre. Finding their beginnings within a burning desire to spread the word of the rich culture of hardcore pulsing through their homeland, that message has spread globally over the last five years, with the band becoming a genuine worldwide phenomenon that has performed across the world. After visiting select stops in the UK and EU earlier this year, including their biggest foreign headline shows to date, today SPEED announce a victory lap across the region for this summer. Positioned around select festival dates, SPEED will take to Europe and the UK from August to September 2026, starting at Germany’s Summer Breeze Open Air festival before running through the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Belgium and Spain. The band will then take to the UK and Ireland, including performances at Reading & Leeds Festival, a headline slot at Burn It Down Festival, headline shows in Dublin and Belfast, as well as a first ever show in Wales at The Arch in Neath. Tickets are on sale Friday June 12th at 11am CET/10am BST HERE. Full dates below. SPEED
