Australian grindcore maniacs KING PARROT will return to US stages this Spring supporting intergalactic shock rock legends Gwar on their Gor-Gor Strikes Back Tour!
The onstage bedlam begins on March 19th in Richmond, Virginia and rampages through April 29th in Charlotte, North Carolina. Additional support will be provided by Soulfly. The latest stretch of Stateside dates follow KING PARROT’s epic jaunt on The Heaviest Tour Of The Summer featuring Pantera and Amon Amarth.
Comments vocalist Matt Young, “When we got the call from the Gwar crew to head back to the US in 2026, it was an offer we couldn’t refuse and to be out there again with our brothers from Soulfly too, it’s really the perfect tour package for us! I think fans of extreme music are gonna love this tour as it really has something for everyone. After our massive tour in the US alongside Pantera and Amon Amarth in 2025, this is the best possible way we could get back and tour in support of our new album. We’ve just been touring all over Australia and have a few more shows left before we pack our bags and head Stateside once more! Can’t wait to see you all again real soon!”

KING PARROT continues to tour in support of their critically lauded A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot full-length, released earlier this year on Housecore Records in North America.
A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot marks the band’s first new output in five years. A hostile and abrasive slab of sensory destroying anthems, the record features ten thoroughly crafted blasts through the psyche of this crazed Aussie quintet. Recorded at Melbourne’s Dangertone studios with engineer Luke Walton, it’s the first full-length album since 2017’s Ugly Produce offering and their first new music since 2022’s Holed Up In The Lair EP.
Applying a similar approach to the writing process of their previous records, which has been historically organic and old-school, KING PARROT adopted a new approach to the studio process. Pulling the new record together was a meticulously creative endeavour and the final product is the most complete, aggressive, and urgent the band has ever sounded.
Watch KING PARROT’s previously released videos for “Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On” HERE, “Target Pig Elite” HERE, “Look Away I’m Hideous” HERE, and “Get What Ya Given” HERE.
A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot is available on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats.
