2009 has been nothing but a blur for Byron Bay quintet Parkway Drive. Starting the year with a tour of SE Asia and Japan, followed by tours of the USA, Parkway Drive then embarked on an endless summer appearing at some of the largest heavy music festivals Europe and the UK has to offer. Returning to Australia in August the band released their first DVD, fittingly titled "The DVD" and set out on their biggest headline tour to date.

Wrapping up the year with a tour seeing them head to Nth Queensland, Darwin, Alice Springs and regional Perth, throughoutJanuaryand February,Parkway Drive will once again pack their surf gear and load the combi for a run of dates on the "Sick Summer" Tour cruising down the East Coastas well as an appearance at MS Fest in Tasmania.

Currently writing the follow-up to 2007's "Horizons", these will be the band's last Australian dates before the release of their new album, due out mid 2010.
