COUNTERPARTS - Europe + United Kingdom Tour 2026

Formed in 2007 in Hamilton, Ontario, Counterparts have earned a reputation as one of the most sincere and important forces in the metalcore revival — a wave of bands that, in the late 2000s and early 2010s, brought fresh energy and emotional depth back to the genre. Their breakthrough came with their third album, The Difference Between Hell and Home, which opened the door to an international career. With each new release, the Canadians have only solidified their position, with most of their albums charting on the Billboard 200. Their latest release, the 2024 EP Heaven Let Them Die, proves that even after nearly two decades, the band hasn’t lost an ounce of passion or fire — if anything, they sound more relentless than ever. Counterparts have always mastered the balance between raw emotion and crushing heaviness, and their live shows are nothing short of an intense, cathartic experience.

Sunami have built their sound around unfiltered aggression since their formation in San Jose, California, in the late 2010s. Their steroid-fueled beatdown style, infused with grimy ’90s metalcore influences, quickly caught the attention of the U.S. hardcore scene. After their demo, two EPs, and a split with Gulch, they released their self-titled full-length Sunami in June 2023. Their first U.S. tour sold out entirely, and their European runs — including recent appearances alongside No Pressure and as part of the powerhouse lineup of the 2024 Rebellion Tour (with Madball, Scowl, The Chisel, and Mindwar) — confirmed their unstoppable live energy. Polish fans last saw them in Warsaw and Poznań with Headbussa this June, and we’re still recovering from that chaos — so prepare yourselves for another massive dose at Proxima in January!

Hailing from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, One Step Closer approach hardcore without boundaries. Their 2021 debut album This Place You Know received glowing reviews, and their 2024 follow-up All You Embrace cemented their reputation as a band ready for much bigger stages. Blending hardcore passion with melodic melancholy and emo influences, OSC bridge the gap between old-school integrity and the new wave of emotionally charged hardcore.

God Complex, from Liverpool, thrive on uncompromising metalcore built on the foundations of hardcore, death metal, and industrial influences. Signed to SharpTone Records, the British outfit returned in February with their latest full-length He Watches In Silence, continuing their mission of sonic demolition with precision and intensity.
