Billy Talent lock in August tour

The tour announcements keep coming this Monday morning. Canada's Billy Talent are the latest to confirm their return to Australia, with the band announcing a headline run for this August.

Five shows. Five cities. The Canadians tour in support of their upcoming album, 'Afraid of Heights', with Aussie fans to be one of the first to hear the new material in a live setting.

"This record is about struggle, both within ourselves and within the society we live. It’s about asking questions. It’s about friendship and loyalty and it’s about choosing to not accept things that don’t apply to us. That don't represent us. It’s about believing in the person that’s reflected in the mirror and taking responsibility," the band told Alternative Press recently.

Locals fans looking to learn the words to the new songs before the band returns to our shores can pre-order 'Afraid Of Heights' via Maniacs.
