Motor City post punk faves Protomartyr return to Australia in 2026, bringing their anthemic atmospheric darkness after an 8 year absence.

The Midwest outfit, touted as favourite band to a long list of luminaries and contemporaries alike, have issued a rich six album catalogue of essential post punk all processed through the gritty city filter of Detroit and the local guitar bands that came before them.

On Friday 19th June, Protomartyr host Naarm buzz trio Npcede, with barrelling Adelaide noise rockers Twine and Brisbane's Craning at the Night Cat.
