Tickets on sale via Destroy All Lines Thursday April 24 at 10am local time.The tour kicks off at The Triffid in Brisbane on Friday July 4, followed by Manning Bar in Sydney on Saturday July 5, and wraps up at Max Watts in Melbourne on Sunday July 6.Dubbed the internet's biggest gamer band by NME, The Living Tombstone is the duo Yoav Landau and Sam Haft. Having created and released music for over eleven years, they have amassed 8 million YouTube subscribers, and their music has achieved over 70 billion streams across platforms.Fresh off the back of a sold out North American Tour in 2024, The Living Tombstone are working alongside industry-best alternative producer CJ Baran (Panic! at the Disco, COIN, One OK Rock) on their next album, entitled 'Rust', out later this year. “Just as zero_one was an album about looking inward, Rust is an album about looking outward,” says Haft. “It’s an album about rebellion, dystopia, and an angry optimism that we can create the future we deserve.”Their unique position as both recording artists and influencers in the gaming and ‘geekdom’ space gives them a significant cultural footprint and history, with multiple RIAA-awarded songs, and even charting at #4 on the Dance/Electronic chart with their track Five Nights At Freddy’s, used in the end credits of the recent Blumhouse/NBC Universal produced film.“Our fans connect to us because they’re obsessed with lore and story. So now we’re giving them a story that belongs entirely to them,” says Haft, who portrays the primary vocalist character Rust onstage. “I don’t think of us as The Living Tombstone - I think of us as the two guys who write the story for The Living Tombstone. The act has its own world and its own characters for people to follow. It’s our job to continue to provide fans with an interesting narrative.”    TLT's manager, Octone Records co-founder David Boxenbaum, never thought he would manage an act, but something surprised him when he first encountered TLT. “These guys disprove the rule, that you can’t just put your music out there and expect people to find it,” he says with a grin. “These guys put it out there, and millions of people found it.” And he’s right - they have - from major movie studios like Universal Pictures, to A-Listers like Will Smith and Jack Black. The Living Tombstone has carved out its own little corner of the geek culture zeitgeist.Catch The Living Tombstone touring their unique brand of electronic rock across the East Coast this July.
