Fresh off their explosive sold out European arena tour and with over 75 million streams on Spotify fueling their meteoric rise, unstoppable Swedish rock juggernauts, SELF DECEPTION are inbound for their first-ever headline tour of Australia.
Aussie audiences are already well familiar with Self Deception and their signature blend of crushing heavy riffs, infectious pop hooks, and unrelenting live energy courtesy of their unforgettable 2023 tour with Electric Callboy.
For the uninitiated, Self Deception’s live shows are legendary for their chaotic joy. Think mosh pit meets confetti cannons, all powered by a rhythm section that hits like a freight train and melodies that linger long after the lights go down.
Formed in 2005 by a serendipitous wrong-number text between frontman Andreas Clark and drummer Erik Eklund, Self Deception has evolved into one of Sweden’s most electrifying rock exports. What began as a quest for authentic expression has blossomed into a global phenomenon. With two highly acclaimed studio albums under their belt, including the 2023 chart-topper You Are Only As Sick As Your Secrets, Self Deception boasts hit singles like ‘Fight Fire With Gasoline,’ ‘Hell and Back,’ and ‘Stockholm Hearts’ that have amassed millions of plays and captivated audiences with their anthemic, genre-defying sound.
