The Beths Announce 2026 Australian Tour

The New Zealand act have announced their biggest headline tour yet.

Fresh from the release of their fourth album, Straight Line Was A Lie, Kiwi indie rockers The Beths have announced a 2026 Australian tour.

After selling out their run of shows earlier this year, The Beths are excited to cross the Tasman once again to perform songs from their four-album discography, including tracks from their latest album, such as ‘Metal’, ‘No Joy’, ‘Mother, Pray for Me’ and ‘Straight Line Was A Lie’.

Released last week (August 29), Straight Line Was A Lie is a ten-track exploration of mental health and family ties. Written in LA and self-recorded by the band in their hometown of Auckland, the album is The Beths’ most personal album yet.

Hitting Australia in April 2026, The Beths’ tour begins in Adelaide at The Gov on Friday 17 April. The band then perform at Perth’s Astor Theatre on Saturday 18 April, Brisbane’s The Tivoli on Thursday 23 April and Sydney’s Roundhouse on Friday 24 April, wrapping the tour up in Melbourne at The Forum on Saturday 25 April.

Pre-sale kicks off on Thursday 4 September at 9am AEST. Sign up here. General on-sale commences on Friday 5 September at 9am AEST via handsometours.com.

Comprising Elizabeth Stokes, Jonathan Pearce, Benjamin Sinclair, and Tristan Deck, The Beths came together over a decade ago and have quickly become one of New Zealand's biggest musical exports.

They’ve released four albums, including the New Zealand Album Chart-topping Expert in a Dying Field, and supported the likes of Pixies, The Breeders, The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie.

Gearing up for a massive 55-date world tour that includes gigs in Europe, the UK and North America, tickets to The Beths’ Aussie tour will sell like hot cakes, so be sure to sign up to the pre-sale now.
