Karnivool have spoiled homegrown fans with plenty of shows over the last year, and they’ve got another national tour in the works. This time, they’re hitting the regions.

From July to August last year, and again in October after a handful of dates were postponed, the Aussie progressive metal heroes embarked on their Ad Complementum tour – a run of shows in the lead-up to their new album, In Verses.

In February, they played a couple of acoustic album launch parties to celebrate In Verses, their first new album in over twelve years. In July, Karnivool embarked on their largest Australian tour to date, bringing their new record to life.

The fun continues this summer, when Karnivool embark on a regional tour.

The run begins at Newcastle’s King Street Bandroom on Wednesday, 25 November, and continues with shows on the Central Coast, Canberra, Wollongong, Coffs Harbour, Brunswick Heads, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Frankston, Ballarat, and concludes at Hobart’s Odeon Theatre on Saturday, 12 December.

You can see the full list of dates and venues below. Tickets will be available on Friday, 2 October, at 9 am local time via Karnivool’s website. The tour marks their final shows of 2026.

Following its release, In Verses debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart. The band previously achieved that milestone with Asymmetry, way back in 2013. The five-piece then followed up In Verses’ success with an inevitable announcement of an international tour, swiftly followed by a fervently anticipated national run across Australian capital cities.
