Indie folk duo Pierce Brothers are riding high after the release of their fourth studio album Moonrise, which topped the Aus ARIA Album Charts.
Having already announced a world tour that includes shows across the UK and Europe, the lads have revealed they are returning home in March for a run of special shows, along with signing for AIM Booking Agency’s roster for Canada.
Speaking on their 2026 Aussie tour, one half of Pierce Brothers, Jack Pierce, reveals, “We’ve already started experimenting with new instruments on stage in that release week run of shows, so we’re building a whole new set. Right now we just need to find those little surprises in the new songs. The things that we can do extra that make the moment special! We’re constantly looking for those little 1%ers!”
Kicking off their Australian performances next March at Port Fairy Festival, Pierce Brothers will headline venues in Newcastle, Sydney, Adelaide, Mildura, Castlemaine, Barwon Heads, Cairns, Melbourne, Mangrove Mountain and Port Macquarie throughout March, April and May, with performances also primed on March 21 at Wide Open Spaces Festival in Beulah, and April 3 - 4 at Bluesfest Byron Bay.
Tickets for all shows are on sale now via piercebrothers.com.

Recorded with long-time friend and collaborator Phil Threlfall, Moonrise is 12 tracks of the duo’s introspective folk songs described by Rolling Stone Australia as “a record that captures chaos, change, and a surprising amount of catharsis.”
“I’m so stoked to have this album out in the world!” enthuses Jack Pierce of the recent release of Moonrise. “We worked hard all year in between heavy touring to get this over the line, and it was a monumental effort from everyone involved! Some of the tracks on this album are some of the proudest I’ve been in songwriting, storytelling and production! We’ve just finished a week of playing the new album front to back, 9 sets in 7 days! It was exhausting but also so much more new material in one sitting than we’ve ever performed! And some of those tracks absolutely go off live! Can’t wait to tour them globally in 2026!”
Speaking on their 2026 shows, Jack shares, “We can’t wait! First up is Europe, so we should be in fine form by the time these Aussie shows come around! I can’t wait to get back to 170 Russell, it’s been ages since we’ve played that venue, and have some of our best memories on stage there!”
Catch Pierce Brothers performing at the Ed Castle on Thursday 19 March. Tickets on sale now via piercebrothers.com.
