American metalcore supergroup Better Lovers will head to Australia in January 2026 for their first-ever headline tour Down Under.

Of course, the members of Better Lovers have toured Australia in the past with their previous bands. Led by vocalist Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan), Every Time I Die’s Jordan Buckley, Stephen Micciche, and Clayton Holyoak, and Fit For An Autopsy guitarist and premier metal producer Will Putney, the band made a name for themselves as soon as they formed in 2023.

Having released an EP (God Made Me An Animal) and album (Highly Irresponsible) in 2023 and 2024, respectively, fans have been waiting patiently for Better Lovers to touch down in Australia.

The tour begins at Brisbane’s Crowbar on Friday, 23 January. It continues at Newcastle’s Hamilton Station on Saturday, 24 January, Sydney’s Manning Bar on Sunday, 25 January, Melbourne’s Max Watts on Wednesday, 28 January, Belgrave’s Sooki Lounge on Thursday, 29 January, and wraps up at Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory on Friday, 30 January.

Tickets will be available on Wednesday, 27 August, at 10 am local time. You can sign up for early bird pre-sale access to tickets here and find tickets on the Destroy All Lines website.

For this tour, Better Lovers will be accompanied by another band making their debut visit to Australia. British nu-metal outfit Split Chain will appear on all shows, fresh off their Epitaph signing and release of their debut album, motionblur.

Meanwhile, beloved Gold Coast band Blind Girls will also perform at all shows, making this tour a hell of an emotionally charged metal show. The group released their third album, An Exit Exists, in 2024.
