It’s hard to believe it’s actually happening. More than 25 years since the release of their self-titled debut album, Scottish act The Beta Band are finally touring Australia in 2026.

The tour comes after the band reformed earlier this year, playing to sold-out crowds in the US and UK.

Not only are The Beta Band touring, but they are set to perform their 1998 album The Three E.P.'s in full, along with fan favourites.

Frontman Steve Mason has pitched the reunion tour as “a chance to see one of the greatest British bands of the last 30 years – before they turn us into holograms.”

The Beta Band play Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Saturday 30 May, Brisbane’s The Tivoli on Sunday 31 May, Adelaide’s The Gov on Wednesday 3 June and Melbourne’s Forum on Thursday 4 June, wrapping things up in Fremantle at the Metropolises on Saturday 6 June.

Destroy All Lines pre-sale kicks off at 9am AEDT on Friday 21 November. Sign up here. General on-sale takes place at 9am AEDT on Tuesday 25 November via destroyalllines.com.

Best Known for their songs ‘Dry The Rain’ and ‘Squares’, The Beta Band became indie rock darlings in the late ‘90s.

Their sound combines a raft of influences and genres, blending folk, psychedelia, electronica, post-rock and trip hop into an intriguing, ear-pleasing sound.

Counting Radiohead and Oasis as fans, the band released three albums – The Beta Band (1999), Hot Shots II (2001) and Heroes to Zeros (2004) – before going their separate ways in 2004.

Reuniting two decades since their last full studio album, The Beta Band are excited to celebrate their music with fans in Australia next year.

Catch The Beta Band performing at The Gov on Wednesday 3 June. Ticketing information is available at destroyalllines.com.
