Twenty years of fire, fury, and unforgettable riffs. This autumn, Australia’s Parkway Drive are bringing their most ambitious show to date to Spain, and Madrid will be one of the lucky cities to feel the full force of their 20th Anniversary European Tour. On Saturday, November 1, 2025, the band will storm Palacio Vistalegre, delivering a night designed to be more than a concert—it will be an experience.

Parkway Drive will set Madrid ablaze with their 20th Anniversary Tour

From their beginnings in Byron Bay in the early 2000s to headlining the world’s biggest festivals, Parkway Drive have evolved from scrappy surfers with breakdowns to one of metalcore’s most commanding live acts. Two decades later, they are celebrating that journey with a spectacle worthy of their status: a show packed with career-defining anthems, breathtaking production, and enough pyrotechnics to turn Vistalegre into a cauldron of fire and steel.

The Madrid date won’t be just about Parkway Drive. The band has curated a lineup that feels like a mini-festival under one roof. The Amity Affliction, fellow Australians and masters of melodic heaviness, will bring their emotionally charged anthems to the stage. Joining them are Thy Art Is Murder, leaders of uncompromising deathcore brutality, whose presence guarantees a darker, heavier edge to the night. Together, the three bands embody the diversity and strength of modern heavy music, making the evening a journey through emotion, aggression, and catharsis.

The choice of Palacio Vistalegre couldn’t be more fitting. With space for thousands and a reputation for hosting unforgettable shows, the venue will become a furnace of sound and light once Parkway Drive take over. Fans who have witnessed their festival sets at Resurrection Fest or Wacken know what’s coming: towering flames, searing lights, walls of riffs, and a connection between band and audience that feels almost tribal.

Behind this event is Route Resurrection Fest, the promoters who have spent the last decade transforming Spain into a must-stop destination for the biggest names in heavy music. Their stamp of quality means fans can expect top-tier production and the kind of atmosphere only true devotees of the scene can create. For Madrid’s metalcore community, this show is not just another date on the calendar—it’s the event of the year.

Parkway Drive’s Madrid concert is going to be a celebration of twenty years of defiance, resilience, and brotherhood in heavy music. For fans, it’s a rare chance to witness one of the world’s most spectacular live acts in a setting designed to leave nothing behind. With standing tickets already gone and seating running low, the time to act is now. Don’t let this pass you by—because when the flames die down and the last note fades, Madrid will be left with a memory etched in fire.
