US heavyweights Lorna Shore have announced a headline tour of Australia and New Zealand set for October 2026.

The New Jersey deathcore outfit will kick off the run in Melbourne, before moving on to play in Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane. The five-piece will then head to Wellington and Auckland for their first-ever performances in New Zealand.

Joining Lorna Shore on the tour include fellow US outfit Whitechapel, fresh off their acclaimed 2025 album Hymns in Dissonance, and Massachusetts’ The Acacia Strain. Local death metal band Organectomy will open on all New Zealand dates.
