The new documentary "HOME" chronicles the Australian rock band Parkway Drive's ascent from the underground metal scene to international stardom. Directed by Allan Hardy and Macario De Souza, the film captures their journey, culminating in a unique concert at Sydney's iconic Opera House in June 2025.
This symphonic performance, backed by a full orchestra, marked a significant career milestone for the band. Frontman Winston McCall described the experience as surreal and unparalleled. The concert was organized with only six months' notice, and the band had a single four-hour rehearsal with the orchestra hours before the show.
"HOME" premiered in Sydney on November 10, 2026, and is now screening in cinemas worldwide. The film's release is accompanied by a forthcoming live album. Parkway Drive, formed in Byron Bay in 2003, has achieved significant success, including multiple Billboard 200 chart entries and ARIA Awards.
