Ten years into their career, Sydney metalcore outfit Polaris will celebrate their first decade together with a national tour this March.
The band have released two studio albums; their 2017 debut 'The Mortal Coil' debuted in the ARIA Top 10, while 2021 release 'The Death Of Me' peaked at #3 on the ARIA Album chart – both albums were nominated for an ARIA Award; while 'The Mortal Coil' was also nominated for a J Award.Polaris have also toured nationally multiple times, selling out countless sold-out headline concerts; they've toured Europe on five occasions, while they've been to America four different times.
"Where did the years go?! Apparently, it's been a whole decade ago since this handful of babyfaced kids from suburban Sydney finally assembled a line-up, recorded a demo and stepped onto a stage for the first time as Polaris," Polaris drummer, Daniel Furnari says.
"Over the course of the ten years and four records that followed, we worked our way through every community hall, theatre or dive that would take us, sleeping on the floors of vans and sharehouses in the name of metalcore.
"Today, this thing we built together has taken us all around the world, giving us the chance to connect with so many incredible people that now all share a role in our story.
"Sometimes it feels like we're just getting started, but as we reach this milestone it seems only right to take stock and reminisce a little about the journey so far. And what better way to do that than with an intimate retrospective tour?!
"We'll be reaching right back to our early EPs and beyond to pull out some deep cuts and old faves for the first (and probably last!) time in a long while.
"Joining us will be our old and very dear friends in Void Of Vision and Pridelands, to add some new memories to the many that we've already shared over the years.
"If you were with us back in the day at Blacktown or Sutherland, at Wrangler or the Lab, at Hot Damn or Enigma, this one is for you. You've all made this possible and we can't wait to celebrate our past, present and future with you around Australia this March."
Tickets on sale from 10am (local time) on 19 January.
