Start stretching your necks, because Maitland Showground is set to explode when Park Waves rolls into Maitland Showground in March 2026.
The colossal touring festival will stop in the Hunter with Aussie heavyweights Parkway Drive promising a one-of-a-kind circus-meets-metal experience.
Hailed as the most ambitious tour ever undertaken by an Australian band, the 16+ event will feature the long-awaited joint Australian tour debut of The Amity Affliction, along with Northlane, Alpha Wolf and Story of the Year.
For fans of riffs, breakdowns, and circle pits, it’s the ultimate day out, with a side of carnival rides, circus performers, and sideshow alley chaos to boot.
“The vision for this is the biggest undertaking in Parkway’s history,” Parkway Drive’s Winston McCall said.
“It’s a massive deal for us, so we wanted to make it special.
“This is the full festival experience, a day to enjoy, connect and get wild. We can’t wait to see you there.”
Known for their high-octane live shows and international success, Parkway Drive have sold out the Sydney Opera House, shared the stage with Metallica, and recently made headlines for selling out Australia’s first heavy metal cruise, Hellbound, in just seven minutes.
Parkway Drive will hit Maitland Showground with their massive Park Waves lineup on Sunday, 8 March 2026. Pre-sale kicks off on Tuesday, 22 July at 9 am. To access the fan club pre-sale, join the Parkway Drive Fan Club here.
