Australian metalcore pyromaniacs Parkway Drive have announced four UK arena shows for September and October 2022 with very special guests While She Sleeps.

The Byron Bay quintet will play London Alexandra Palace on Friday 30th September and then bring their fiery show to Manchester AO Arena (Sat 1st October), Nottingham Motorpoint Arena (Sun 2nd October) and Cardiff Motorpoint Arena (Mon 3rd October).

The four UK shows are the culmination of Parkway Drive’s European tour, which calls in at eight countries throughout September.

Parkway Drive tickets:

Tickets to Parkway Drive’s UK arena tour go on sale from Kerrang! Radio Tickets at 10am on Friday 12th November 2021.

Due to the venue change, tickets for Parkway Drive’s cancelled April 2021 show at London’s The SSE Arena, Wembley cannot be carried over for the new gig.
