UK rock icons Maxïmo Park are making their long-awaited return to Australia, their first tour since 2011! And they’re bringing a celebration two decades in the making.

 In April 2026, the party will be in full swing as Maxïmo Park marks the 20th anniversary of their seminal debut album A Certain Trigger. To honour the milestone, the band will perform tracks from the Mercury Prize-nominated record alongside fan favourites from their expansive catalogue, spanning eight albums and twenty electrifying years.

Headlining the night are Deekline & Ed Solo, bringing the full Jungle Cakes energy to the legendary Howler in Melbourne. Expect heavy basslines, rolling rhythms, and proper UK flavour from start to finish.

They’re backed by a stacked local support lineup featuring EMCD (Overtake Events), Hallox (Blackout Frequency), and Sistym, with MC Manaki on mic duties keeping the energy locked all night long.

This isn’t just a rave, it’s a celebration of the culture.

Emerging from the Melbourne rock scene, White Summer built a sound of raw emotion, melodic weight, and lo-fi vocals, honed on their debut album Soul Breaker with acclaimed producer Burke Reid. Their songs helped the band sell out shows, tour nationally, appear at festivals, support acts like Kingswood, Ash Grunwald and British India, and even land placements in the hit Netflix series Shameless.
