After tearing up the country late last year with a run of shows in support of their first album in eight years, I Only Trust Rock n Roll, The Living End have announced another tour, this time hitting regional areas across the country.

The punk rock trio have locked in nine dates along the East Coast, although sadly for South Aussie fans, the band are bypassing the Festival State.

Recently announced as inductees into the ARIA Hall of Fame, The Living End will perform songs from their ninth studio album, I Only Trust Rock n Roll, which debuted at #5 on the ARIA Albums Chart, along with fan favourites from across their career, including White Noise’, ‘Roll On’, ‘Who’s Gonna Save Us’, ‘All Torn Down’, ‘Second Solution’, ‘Prisoner of Society’ and more.

The Living End’s I Only Trust Rock n Roll tour begins on the Sunshine Coast at Venue 114 on Friday 31 July. Dates follow at Hobart’s Odeon Theatre (Friday 7 August), Ballarat’s Civic Hall (Saturday 8 August), Cairns’ Tanks Art Centre (Wednesday 12 August), Townsville’s The Warehouse (Friday 14 August), Mackay’s McGuries Hotel (Saturday 15 August) and Thirroul’s Anita’s Theatre (Friday 21 August), with the tour wrapping up in Canberra at UC Refectory on Saturday 22 August.

Pre-sale kicks off at 9am AEST Wednesday 6 May and runs until 8am AEST Thursday 7 May. Sign up here. General on-sale takes place at 9am AEST Thursday 7 May via facetofacetouring.com.au.

The Living End have come a long way since the release of their 1997 EP Second Solution / Prisoner of Society. Nine studio albums have followed, including two ARIA #1s (The Living End and State of Emergency), six ARIA Awards and countless tours both here in Australia and across the globe.

One of Australia’s most captivating live acts, the band’s upcoming regional tour gives fans who normally wouldn’t get to see The Living End a chance to experience Chris Cheney, Scott Owen and Andy Strachan in the flesh.

Catch The Living End performing along the East Coast from July to August 2026. Ticketing information is available at facetofacetouring.com.au.
