A Tour Built For A King With LANDON TEWERS From THE PLOT IN YOU

Interview by Kris Peters
A band relentlessly poised on the cutting edge of heavy music, THE
PLOT IN YOU have cultivated ongoing critical acclaim and fan
adoration since first forming 15 years ago. Hailing from Ohio, the
group announced themselves to the scene via their 2011 debut album,
First Born, paving the way for their soon-to-be-signature balanced
and innovative take on metalcore tropes. Whether weaving elements
of alternative, electronica, pop, R&B and beyond into their raw
yet thunderous sound, one thing is always certain when it comes to
THE PLOT IN YOU: expect the unexpected and hang on for an
exhilarating ride.
No strangers to Australian audiences, THE PLOT IN YOU previously
ticked off an entirely sold-out headline run down under in 2023,
before once again wowing Aussie crowds at Good Things Festival in
2023 off the back of their crushing single Forgotten. And as anyone
who has previously experienced THE PLOT IN YOU in a live setting
will attest, this is an act not to be slept on.
In 2026, prepare for the return of THE PLOT IN YOU to Australian
shores, with the band announcing a national headline run next
January, joined by special guests FIT FOR A KING (USA), BOUNDARIES
(USA) and BANKS ARCADE. Kicking off on Wednesday 21 January in
Fremantle, THE PLOT IN YOU will visit Adelaide, Chelsea Heights,
Melbourne and Sydney, before closing out this mammoth visit on
Friday 30 January in Brisbane.
HEAVY caught up with vocalist Landon Tewers not long after the tour
announcement. Last time they were out here The Plot In You had to
put up full house signs everywhere they played, and we remind
Landon of this and point out that the band must be dearly loved on
this side of the world.
"Honestly, I think it's collectively all our favourite market to
play," he replied. "Even from back when we were way, way smaller
coming over, it was always an amazing experience. People seem to
really appreciate heavy music in a different way over there. It's
always a privilege and an absolute blast coming over there."
We ask what has changed with the band since their last visit.
"Oh man, so much," he returned. "The EPs that we put out seemed to
really transcend and connect with a lot of people, which is cool.
It will be fun to come over there and play a lot more new stuff. In
that time I feel like we have toured so much, and we've gone to so
many new places too. We did Japan for the first time. We did South
America for the first time. It's cool seeing how things are
translating all over the world. It's a pretty unique and bizarre
thing to experience, and we're really grateful."
In the full interview, Landon spoke more about The Plot In You's
live show and why it is warmly regarded as one of the best going
around, tailoring set lists depending on what country they are
playing in, where Aussie crowds sit on a global scale of rowdiness,
bringing Fit For A King and Boundaries along for the tour and why.
Banks Arcade who are representing Australia on the run of shows,
the three all-ages shows and the joys of influencing the ears of
the next generation of music lovers, finding the balance of sounds
and genres in a live setting and more.
