Indie folk duo The Lumineers make their triumphant return to Australian and New Zealand shores in 2026 with their The Automatic Tour.

This marks the two-time Grammy nominee’s first trip south of the equator since 2022, with the band touring the globe in support of their fifth studio album, AUTOMATIC.

Released earlier this year via Dualtone, AUTOMATIC was produced by David Baron (Lana Del Rey, Noah Kahan) and debuted at #2 on the Top Rock Albums, Americana/Folk Albums and Independent Albums Charts. Called “raw, vulnerable, and emotionally connected” by American Songwriter, the album includes the #1 Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay Chart hit, ‘Same Old Song’.

Having already performed to sold-out crowds across the UK and Europe, The Lumineers are currently working their way across North America before they head our way in January 2026.

The Lumineers kick things off with two shows in New Zealand at Christchurch’s Town Hall on Saturday 3 January and Auckland’s Spark Arena on Tuesday 6 January. The band then heads to Australia for concerts at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Friday 9 January, Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 13 January, Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Friday 16 January and Adelaide’s AEC Arena on Sunday 18 January, wrapping the tour up at Perth’s RAC Arena on Wednesday 21 January.
