Black Flag Reveal 2026 Australian Tour Dates

Punk icons Black Flag will return to Australia in May 2026.

Their first shows Down Under since December 2023, the tour also marks the Australian debut of the band’s new line-up as they enter a new era.

For the upcoming tour, founding guitarist Greg Ginn will be accompanied by three new members as Black Flag opens a new creative chapter. Ginn will be joined by vocalist Max Zanelly, bassist David Rodriguez, and drummer Bryce Weston.

The Australian dates will showcase Black Flag with revitalised energy, new shows, and fresh music production—with the group set to perform two sets a night. The new four-piece is already in the midst of writing and rehearsing, with plans to build on the band’s signature punk sound while embracing new inspirations.

The tour begins at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel on Thursday, 28 May. The fun continues at Sydney’s Crowbar on Friday, 29 May, Brisbane’s Crowbar on Saturday, 30 May, and concludes at the Gold Coast’s Vinnie’s Dive Bar on Sunday, 31 May. Tickets are available now via the Troubadour Presents website.

On their 2023 Australian shows, Black Flag returned Down Under after ten years and performed My War in its entirety. The 2013 shows arrived shortly after the band’s second reunion was locked in earlier that year. It came in support of their seventh album, What The…, which arrived the same month and remains Black Flag’s most recent studio effort.
