Cali post-hardcore rockers Pierce the Veil are bringing their I Can’t Hear You world tour to Australian shores in 2026.
The tour has covered more than 60 dates across North America, Europe, the UK and Latin America, finally making its way Down Under next year, hitting five capital cities.
The tour will be Pierce the Veil’s first since 2023, when they headed our way in support of their fifth studio album, The Jaws of Life. The record peaked at #14 on the Billboard Top 200 and became Pierce the Veil’s third #1 album on the US Hard Rock Chart. The band recently released a deluxe edition of the record that includes an official recording of Pierce the Veil’s triple j Like A Version cover of Radiohead’s ‘Karma Police’.
“The Jaws Of Life kicked off a new way of thinking for our band in the sense of trusting when things are not working for you,” frontman Vic Fuentes says in regards to the changes made during the recording of the record. “The experience was so fulfilling and exciting that it made us reevaluate every part of our career – what we’re doing, how we’re doing it – and start chasing that feeling again by trying new things, pushing ourselves into uncomfortable territory, and seeing where it takes us.”
Pierce the Veil’s I Can’t Hear You Australian tour commences in Brisbane with an outdoor show at Riverstage on Wednesday 8 April, continuing with dates at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Friday 10 April, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 12 April and Adelaide’s The Drive on Tuesday 14 April, before warpping up at Perth’s Red Hill Auditorium on Thursday 16 April.
Joining Pierce the Veil on tour are fellow Cali post-hardcore heroes Movements and American singer-songwriter Jack Kays.

For almost two decades, San Diego’s Pierce the Veil have assuredly established themselves as a household name in the post-hardcore scene.
The lads have released five albums – A Flair for the Dramatic (2007), Selfish Machines (2010), Collide with the Sky (2012), Misadventures (2016) and The Jaws of Life (2023) – and continue to sell out shows across the globe.
The current lineup consists of founding member Vic Fuentes (vocals, guitar), Tony Perry (guitar) and Jaime Preciado (bass), with Pierce the Veil topping the Alternative Radio Chart with their #1 single ‘Emergency Contact’, which has garnered an incredible 2 billion global streams and over 500 million YouTube views.
The release of The Jaws of Life has seen Pierce the Veil crossover into new areas, with the band supporting Blink-182 on their One More Time… tour, helping open them up to different audiences.
“We are finding a balance between embracing the emo roots that got us here and finding the opportunity to explore new things like playing Lollapalooza,” Fuentes explains. “I think it’s really about having new experiences because that’s what keeps things fun and exciting.”
Catch Pierce the Veil at The Drive on Tuesday 14 April. For ticketing information, visit livenation.com.au.
