US heavy weights Baroness have announced that they are returning to Australia for a national tour in December, on top of their appearance at the legendary Meredith Festival. It has  been two years since the four-piece were last in Australia — they played Soundwave Festival back in 2014, and before that supported Metallica on their 2010 tour.

This time around, the band will play five headline shows across Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth, as well as their Meredith Festival set. Word around the campfire has that the Baroness will treat punters down under with a best of mélange of songs spanning their four albums and thirteen year career.

Details for Baroness’ Australian tour in December 2016 can be found under the following links.

Update: 

There's a change of venue for the West coast date: They will now play Amplifier Bar on December 13 (no change of date) in Perth.
Tickets purchased for the Capital show are valid for Amplifier without the need for exchange.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now. For complete tour and ticketing details - including ticket bundles featuring a limited edition hand-signed show poster designed by Baroness’ John Baizley and featuring artwork by Marald Van Haasteren.
