Helmet Announce 2023 Australian ‘Best Of’ Tour

Helmet Announce 2023 Australian ‘Best Of’ Tour

Seminal New York alt-metal band Helmet have announced ‘The Best Of Helmet’ Australian tour, set to take place in April 2023. The rescheduled tour, originally slated for 2020 but called off due to the global pandemic, includes nine dates across Australia and will feature songs from their entire back catalogue.

Helmet have been cited as a musical influence for bands such as Silverchair, System of a Down and Faith No More. Prior to their first breakup in the late-’90s, they were touring with the likes of Korn and Limp Bizkit. The 2023 tour marks their first time in Australia since 2017.

Helmet – Unsung



Helmet formed in New York City in 1989, the brainchild of guitarist and vocalist Page Hamilton. Hamilton received a masters degree in jazz composition before starting Helmet, and the band’s fusion of avant-garde, hardcore and math-metal helped lay the foundation for the hard rock sound of the 1990s and 2000s. After many rotations, Hamilton remains Helmet’s only original member.

Helmet gained exposure during the dawn-of-the-90s MTV era and featured in what is perhaps the most significant cultural touchstone for Generation X: an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head.
