Regional kings of Gippsland, Australia, Ocean Sleeper return in 2026 as a band transformed, sharper, heavier, and more emotionally resonant than ever before. Following a relentless two-year stretch of international touring and writing, the band now steps into a new era showcasing their new single ‘Break The Cycle’, signing with labels BMG & Rise Records and to polish it all off a new massive Australian tour.

Joining Ocean Sleeper will be Florida, USA legends Nevertel touring Australia for the first time, New Zealand powerhouse Vana making her return and long time friends Outloved from Melbourne.

Since their formation in 2015, Ocean Sleeper built their platform on honesty, authenticity and a DIY attitude alongside blending crushing metalcore intensity with deeply personal lyricism and huge melodies. From their debut album Don’t Leave Me This Way through to their 2025 EP Maybe Death Is All I Need, the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of modern heavy music.

The years leading into 2026 saw Ocean Sleeper touring the world. With multiple sold-out headline tours at home, headlining a USA tour and debut appearances across Europe, the UK, and Japan, the band has steadily cultivated a growing global audience. Sharing stages with genre leaders and delivering unforgettable festival performances, Ocean Sleeper have proven themselves as a commanding force both on record and live.

Ocean Sleeper will embark on their most ambitious headline tour yet, after 2 back to back completely sold out previous Australian headline tours, The Peace When I’m Dead tour will see the band on their biggest stages and stronger than ever.
