Haywire reveal headlining Australian tour dates and shows with Dropkick Murphys and Rise Against

The Boston hardcore punk band Haywire has rescheduled their Australian tour for later this year. The initial postponement in August was due to visa-related issues, which now appear to have been resolved. The band has announced a series of performances with Feel The Pain, followed by a subsequent tour supporting Rise Against and Dropkick Murphys. The previously scheduled Byron Bay concert could not be rescheduled, and ticket refunds will be issued. Haywire released their new album, titled “I DON’T WANNA SAY GOODBYE,” earlier this month through Roadrunner Records. Source.
