‘CYBERNETIC DOMINATION’
35 Years Of Fear
Australia & New Zealand Tour May 19th–31st, 2026

One can’t overstate the size of the FEAR FACTORY boot print on the neck of heavy metal. Unleashing influential albums with devastating anthems for 35 years now, they are widely recognised as both crucial and innovative in extreme metal circles. FEAR FACTORY manufactured, demanufactured, and remanufactured a sound that reverberates across several subgenres. They perfected an explosive blend of staccato paint-stripping riffs, industrial-tinged drums, electronic flourishes, and a scream/sing dichotomy, all of which became staples in heavy music, ever since the group first emerged in L.A.

Celebrating 35 Years Of Fear, FEAR FACTORY are dialling in a ‘Cybernetic Domination’ of Australia for their first full headlining tour in 10 years and finally for New Zealand, they perform for the first time since 2012! The signature sounds, concepts, and passions remain as FEAR FACTORY salutes its past, present, and future.
