Plain White T’s Announce 2026 Australian Tour

This is the American outfit’s first Australian headline tour in 20 years.

Plain White T’s have announced their first headline Australian tour in more than a decade.

The Chicago pop-rock act behind the monster hit ‘Hey There Delilah’ are celebrating the song’s 20th anniversary with a four-date tour alongside Adelaide’s very own Teenage Joans.

Despite ‘Hey There Delilah’ first dropping in 2007, the song has found a new generation of fans thanks to TikTok, with the track re-entering the ARIA Singles Chart this week at #87, 20 years on from its release.

Last here in 2025, supporting Yellowcard, Plain White T’s Aussie tour kicks off on Tuesday 27 October at Sydney’s Factory Theatre. The band then plays Brisbane’s The Triffid on Thursday 29 October and 170 Russell in Melbourne on Saturday 31 October, before wrapping things up in Adelaide at Lion Arts Factory on Sunday 1 November.

Founded in Chicago in 1997, Plain White T’s have had enduring success for close to three decades. Over that time they've amassed more than 2.7 billion global streams, earned two Grammy Award nominations and collected multiple Platinum and Gold certifications.

Their signature hit ‘Hey There Delilah’ took out the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and became an anthem for emo across the world.

The group have released nine studio albums over their career, with the most recent being 2023’s Plain White T’s, which received high praise from media outlets.

Plain White T’s are currently touring the USA alongside Yellowcard and New Found Glory before hitting Australia for what promises to be an incredible run of shows celebrating the band’s biggest hit and their legacy.
