Periphery‘s drummer, Matt Halpern, will be sitting out the band’s upcoming Australian tour as he recently welcomed his second child. Despite Halpern’s absence, the tour will continue as planned next month with David Parkes of I Built The Sky stepping in as the fill-in drummer. Fans can still look forward to the high-energy performances Periphery is known for, now with Parkes holding down the rhythm section.
Halpern offered via video message:
We’re excited to say that Matt recently welcomed his 2nd child into his family! This means Matt will not be joining us in AU this November – he will be missed! He will be back for our tour with Spiritbox in 2025 & beyond. Tix for all AU shows available at https://t.co/RssbyIxfuy pic.twitter.com/6CCuukUBXv
