“Growing up is a scam, I wish I knew before I signed up”sings Siobhan Cotchin in ‘Growing Pains’. Marking an emotional maturation, it is paired with the relatability & candidness that assisted her in building a passionate following across the country. ‘Growing Pains’ is an “ode to anxiety”, helping audiences find solace in the uncertainty of the future, even when irresolute of who they truly are. A 2021 spent inside, unable to leave Western Australia has left Cotchin questioning the purpose of time passing, unable to find fulfillment in even the briefest social encounters.
Destroy All Lines are thrilled to announce the return of BLACK VEIL BRIDES for their Australian headline tour which sees them performing in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide in July 2022. Their long-awaited return is the band’s first Australian shows in 8 years.

I must be honest; this is one event I have been looking forward to for a long time. This festival has been on fans’ lips for over eighteen months. A sell-out confirmed this day would be enormous, and I was excited to be a part of it.
