Fresh off a relentless touring schedule across the United States and Europe, HED P.E. is ready to conquer Australia and New Zealand once again, thanks to October Presents. HED P.E. has been a cornerstone in the rock and metal scene, captivating audiences with their unique blend of rock, punk, rasta, gangsta rap, and soul, affectionately coined as "G-Punk."
If you have not experienced HED P.E. live, you can expect pounding riffage, solid grooves, and funk-infused rhythms, all laced by the flow, melody, and cadence of frontman Jahred Gomes. Many bands three decades into their career would be happy to play for nostalgia, but not HED P.E. Their fifteenth album, Detox, was released in December 2023 and shows a band with no time to muse about the past.
Detox is a crushing return to the G-Punk sound that fans know and adore. Gomes describes the record as "a spiritual journey from a state of chemical enslavement to self-liberation, and then, ironically, back again." He addresses topics like sexuality, substance use, and a hardcore lifestyle while incorporating more rap elements and delivering notably heavier, thrash-oriented music.
On this highly anticipated tour, HED P.E. will be delivering an unforgettable assault on the senses, tearing through both nations with stops in every capital city. Get ready, Australia and New Zealand - you’re in for a treat!

I composed this from an intimately personal standpoint, as I grappled with addiction throughout my life. On this album, I’m unapologetically candid, addressing topics such as sexuality, substance use, and a hardcore lifestyle. I’ve incorporated more rap elements, and the music is notably heavier and thrash-oriented. I discovered the inspiration to delve into some gritty subjects. This album truly grants the audience what they’ve longed for, without compromising artistic integrity.”On this highly anticipated tour,HED P.E.will be delivering an unforgettable assault on the senses, tearing through both nations with stops in every capital city.Get ready Australian and New Zealand - You’re in for a treat
