Deafheaven live in Woolloongabba

Experience Deafheaven live on July 12th

Deafheaven will be performing at The Princess Theatre in Woolloongabba, Australia on July 12th, 2026. The band is recognized for their distinctive blend of black metal and shoegaze, often categorized as “blackgaze.” Their music incorporates elements of post-rock, creating atmospheric soundscapes alongside aggressive instrumentation and emotionally charged vocals – frequently shifting between harsh screams and melodic cleans. Formed in San Francisco, California in 2010, Deafheaven gained prominence with albums like *Sunbather* (2013) which significantly contributed to the popularization of the blackgaze subgenre.

The Princess Theatre, located on Ipswich Road in Woolloongabba, has a history dating back to its construction in 1927.
