It’s been a long time coming, but American heavy rockers Of Mice & Men are returning to our shores in 2026.
As they prepare for the release of their ninth studio album, Another Miracle (pre-order here), the band revealed they have locked in five dates across the nation in May alongside Japanese metalcore beasts Crystal Lake.
“Australia holds a special place in our heart. The crowds there are unmatched in their passion and chaos,” says frontman Aaron Pauley. “After the love we felt last year, we are stoked to return with a new show and tear the roof off once again. It feels like coming home with family. Get ready for the pits to open wide.”
Of Mice & Men’s 2026 Australian tour begins in Perth at Magnet House on Tuesday 5 May. Dates follow at Lion Arts Factory in Adelaide on Thursday 7 May, 170 Russell in Melbourne on Friday 8 May, Manning Bar in Sydney on Saturday 9 May and The Triffid in Brisbane on Sunday 10 May.
Pre-sale takes place on Friday October 31 1:00pm AEDT, with general public on-sale on Monday 3 November at 9:00am AEDT. Full ticketing details available via thephoenix.au.

Since the release of their 2010 self-titled debut album, Of Mice & Men have become leaders of the American metalcore and post-hardcore genres.
The band have released eight albums in total, including 2014’s Restoring Force, which topped the US Indie and US Hard Rock Album Charts. With over 1.6 million monthly Spotify listeners, Gold certifications and tours alongside the likes of Metallica, Linkin Park, and Slipknot, it’s safe to say Of Mice & Men are highly regarded by both the fans and their peers.
Of Mice & Men’s Australian return is a great way to celebrate the release of their upcoming ninth album and promises to be a hit-filled evening of heavy tunes from the Southern Cali four-piece.
Catch Of Mice & Men with Crystal Lake at Lion Arts Factory on Thursday 7 May. Ticketing info available via thephoenix.au.
