Shihad Wiki

Shihad Wiki is the biggest resource of information on the internet for the NZ band Shihad. This website was started in March 2007 and has steadily grown into a monster of a site. This site features information on past concerts, their discography, tabs, history and a whole lot more of history revolving around the band.

If you would like to help out and get an account so you can help edit the site email sign up AT (this.domain.name (which is shihadwiki.com)) and you will be sorted out with an account and whatnot. Why do you need and account to edit? Isn't this a wiki? Well having people sign up is in hope to stop vandalism and spamming. If you have links, photos, set lists, info, etc drop them to submissions AT (this.domain.name (which is shihadwiki.com)) and we can put them up here for all to share.

There is more that we would like to do to make this site better and there's a great Team making this happen. If you like the site and want to help out in a different way have a read of this.

28 September 2010 - Guns N' Roses/KoЯn shows

Shihad are supporting Guns N' Roses and KoЯn.

  • Wednesday December 01 Reid Park, Townsville
  • Tuesday December 07 Adelaide Entertainment Centre
  • Saturday December 11 Perth Motorplex

Andrew McManus Presents can announce that Shihad, one of New Zealand’s greatest rock bands, will be sharing the bill with global rock legends, Guns N’ Roses and Korn, this December in Townsville, Adelaide and Perth. Shihad will also perform with Korn for their solo shows in Sydney and Melbourne this December. Shihad have had three #1 albums and also hold the record for the most Top40 Single Chart appearances for a New Zealand artist. Fans can expect to hear all their biggest hits and also songs off Shihad’s just released eighth studio album, Ignite.

Andrew McManus Presents is proud to announce that global rock legends, Guns N’ Roses will perform in Australia for not only the V8 Supercar Championship for the Sydney Telstra 500, but now also stand alone shows in Townsville, Adelaide and Perth in December 2010. Tickets go on sale from noon Tuesday 7th September. Special guests will be explosive hard-rock band KoRn.

The enigmatic front man and legendary voice of Guns N’ Roses, Axl Rose will be joined by the current line up of Tommy Stinson on bass, Dizzy Reed on keys, Bumblefoot on guitar, Chris Pitman on keys + bass, DJ Ashba on guitar, Richard Fortus on rhythm guitar and Frank Ferrer on drums.

Promoter, Andrew McManus says, ‘this is a very exciting tour for us, I saw Guns N’ Roses perform in Helsinki earlier this year and I’ve never seen a bigger crowd, it was a wild concert with over 60,000 fans going freakin’ berserk! They were really well behaved and were there purely to give the band as much energy back as the band gave them, which believe me was a ton full! I got goose bumps hearing the crowd leave the venue all as one singing 'Sweet Child O’ Mine'.

Guns N’ Roses last toured Australia in 2007 and have sold more than 100 million records worldwide since forming in 1985. With hits including Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child O’ Mine and November Rain, Guns N’ Roses provided the anthems that shaped a generation.

Joining Guns N’ Roses on this tour will be Grammy award winning metal band KoRn who have sold in excess of 30 million albums and played countless sold-out shows worldwide.

This show is not for the faint hearted and not to be missed!

9 August 2010 - Aussie Ignite Tour

Press Release from Road Runner Records

They’re back.

Hot on the heels of the SOLD OUT run of Killjoy and General Electric album shows comes news of SHIHAD’s national tour in support of IGNITE – their new album slated for a September 24th release through iconic rock label Roadrunner Records.

Those in the know describe ‘Ignite’ as harkening back to many of the original raw elements of Shihad – the rumbling and slow spiralling heavy groove unfolding under the thick crackle of a duelling Telecaster and SG all underpinning Jon Toogood’s engaging vocal.

Joining Shihad on the Ignite tour to round out a smokin’ bill are Trial Kennedy and Black Devil Yard Boss (BDYB).

Trial Kennedy barely need introduction after their incendiary debut album ‘New Manic Art’ ripped through Australian rock airwaves in 2008; and word is TK will be playing cuts from an imminent new release.

BDYB features ex-Mammal members Pete Williamson and Zane Rosanoski and ex-Pete Murray’s Stonemason bass player Michael Davids.  The debut BDYB EP is released on August 13th and their first single ‘One Dead Letter’ is spinning on triple j radio.
