Polaris

Saturday

Since the release of their debut album “The Mortal Coil”, Sydney’s Polaris have shown no signs of slowing down. One of 2017’s most anticipated heavy releases, ‘The Mortal Coil’ stunned audiences and critics upon its release in November, landing at #6 on the ARIA Album Charts, #1 on the Independent Albums Chart, and scoring a Triple J Feature Album. In 2018 Polaris cemented their place in the global scene with a metalcore torch held high in their hands, touring through the US, Europe and the UK, selling out 3 Australian Tours, including their national Spring tour in November where they performed their biggest headline shows to date.

2019 kicked off with Polaris returning to Europe and the UK supporting UK metalcore kings, Architects on their massive arena run throughout January and February. A run which also saw Polaris supporting Architects in August on their ‘Holy Hell’ Australian Tour.

In March, they returned to perform their first shows of the year on home soil as part of Download Festival in Sydney and Melbourne – entertaining their largest crowds to date. “Playing to a HUGE hometown crowd, the metalcore lords tore through a set of both newer and older material—and they had the pit spinning through it all.” – Hysteria Magazine. In April they toured Japan for the first time and over the European Summer returned for a run of Festival appearances as well as their first headline shows in the UK and Germany, with their only London headline show selling out, receiving a 4K review in Kerrang Magazine. “It’s no secret that Australia has become a hotbed for world class metal acts. It seems this band could well be its next premium export”.

January 2020 will see Polaris make their third appearance at Unify Gathering.
