After years of touring, burnout, and stepping away when things stopped feeling right, the band have returned with a much clearer sense of purpose. \u201cThere was a point where I didn\u2019t want to tour anymore,\u201d he admits. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s something people need to recognise &#8211; if you\u2019re not mentally in the right place, it\u2019s okay to step back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now? It\u2019s about doing things on their own terms &#8211; and reconnecting with the reason it all started in the first place. \u201cWhen I first joined the band, it felt like I\u2019d hit the lottery,\u201d Bokan reflects. \u201cI got to quit my job and do something I loved for a living. I try to hold onto that feeling every time we go out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That energy is exactly what they\u2019re bringing back down under &#8211; along with the usual chaos, crowd-surfing madness, and (hopefully) a bit of downtime to hit the beaches and dodge the occasional nightmare spider. \u201cIt\u2019s just a different vibe over there,\u201d Bokan says. \u201cWe always try to find somewhere to swim, jump off cliffs\u2026 it\u2019s one of our favourite places to play.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a stacked lineup, a fresh wave of fans, and nearly a decade of pent-up energy behind them, this tour feels less like a comeback and more like a reset &#8211; one that Blessthefall are clearly still hungry to build on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve still got so much we want to do,\u201d Bokan says. \u201cWe\u2019ve never played arenas, never had that number one rock song\u2026 but the goal is just to keep growing and make music we actually love. If it connects, it connects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And judging by the reception so far? Yep, it do be connecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suss all the details of Blessthefall&#8217;s upcoming tour with Memphis May Fire down below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
