UTR Presents
Honouring the patience of devoted fans all over the country, Helmet have confirmed their long-awaited return to deliver the very best of their celebrated catalogue.
In April 2023 Helmet will storm New Zealand stages delivering career defining songs and all-time fan favourites, a complete evening of essential music from one of heavy music’s most essential bands. Beginning at The Tuning Fork in Auckland on Friday 14 April, the band will then head south to play The Last Place in Hamilton on Saturday 15 April, San Fran in Wellington on Sunday 16 April before wrapping up at Loons in Christchurch on Monday 17 April.
For over three decades, Page Hamilton and Helmet have provided the foundation for modern guitar and heavy alternative music. Fusing the complexity of jazz, the extreme power of metal and a liberal dose of avant guard, Helmet continue to guide the way for a myriad of bands into the modern age. Led by Hamilton’s incendiary time-contorting riffs and molten liquid leads, Helmet are the epitome of extreme musicality.
From the devastating guitar riff of “Repetition” opening 1990’s Strap It On through to the pulsating bass and feedback of “Life Or Death” which closes their most recent album Dead To The World, Page Hamilton and his band continue to raise the bar for uncompromising, sonically brutal guitar driven rock.
