Quicksand (USA)

New York post-hardcore legends QUICKSAND return to New Zealand in February 2027 for two shows across Auckland and Wellington, joined by Atlanta noise-rock heavyweights WHORES. The tour follows the release of Quicksand’s new album Bring on the Psychics and their long-awaited return to New Zealand in 2023. Formed in New York City in 1990, Quicksand emerged from the city’s hardcore scene before carving out a sound entirely their own. Landmark albums Slip and Manic Compression helped define their distinctive collision of crushing guitars, melody and atmosphere, influencing generations of alternative, post-hardcore and heavy music. In 2027, Quicksand return with Bring on the Psychics, adding a new chapter to that catalogue alongside the songs that have made the band so enduring. Joining Quicksand across both New Zealand shows are Atlanta noise-rock heavyweights WHORES. Known for punishing riffs, abrasive intensity and ferocious live shows, Whores. return Down Under for the first time since touring Australia and New Zealand in 2022.
