A VERY SAME PAINS CHRISTMAS.
SUNDAY 13th DECEMBER. | CAIRNS | EVENTS @ WATSON'S | ALL AGES.
After the launch in Townsville last year, it was inevitable that SAME PAINS would bring it to surrounds with bells on. The bastard children of the NQLD heavy scene have had a back breaking 2026 and it's only getting crazier heading into 2027. With the recent release of 'FIVE FLOWERS' the band has reached all new heights playing all across Australia, supporting international bands and breaking their stream records month on month. The riffs? crazier, the breakdowns? heavier. the mosh? stupider.
For those that know, you know what to expect. For those that don't? only one way to find out. Strap in for the craziest heavy show Cairns has seen all year.
Joining the festivities we have Brisbane nu-gaze APATE & Melbourne emo throwback ALERA along with Cairns legends SHARK EYES.
LICENSED ALL AGES | LOUD AS HELL.
ATTENTION MOSHERS! This is a family friendly, licensed all ages event that offers free tickets to underage attendees so they can experience live music.
All underage attendees MUST be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian. If in doubt, send us a PM on socials.
