Main image for event titled King 810


<p>Hardened American nu-metal underdogs <strong>King 810</strong> will return to Australia in March 2026 for the band&rsquo;s first-ever headline shows down under! Laden with rambunctious rhythms and driven by the unique and poetic poignancy of frontman David Gunn&rsquo;s lyrical black magic, the Flint Michigan natives have often been perceived as controversial due to the truth of their rough lives spent growing up on the streets of a deeply troubled city - with crime, violence and poverty all themes that hold a heavy and uncomfortable yet spiritual and insightful weight throughout their discography. Be sure that none of this is fantasy - this is the band&rsquo;s reality - and David and his group truly is the real deal.</p><p>Having broken out of Flint upon signing to Roadrunner Records for their 2014 debut &lsquo;<em>Memoirs of a Murderer</em>&rsquo;, and the crushing 2016 follow up &lsquo;<em>La Petite Mort or a Conversation With God</em>&rsquo;, KING 810 has since forged their own path as an independent band through numerous albums, EPs and singles - this total freedom allowing them to release both their fifth and sixth albums &lsquo;<em>Rustbelt Nu Metal</em>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<em>Rustbelt Nu Metal 2</em>&rsquo; in 2025 mere months apart. Captured live in front of a studio audience, this stripped back approach has bestowed upon these compelling records a level of raw and honest energy that surpasses what has come before on an already incredibly raw and honest discography.</p><p>Joining these sweaty shows will be the cinematic and fast rising metalcore group that is Melbourne&rsquo;s <strong>The Gloom In The Corner -&nbsp;</strong>who have their new full-length &lsquo;<em>Royal Discordance</em>&rsquo; ready to explode on February 27, and <strong>DREGG</strong> whose powerful sarcasm and energetic nu-metal left its wild and whacky mark on 2024 with their celebrated second album &lsquo;<em>The Art of Everything</em>&rsquo;.</p>
