Lacuna Coil Plot 2026 Australian Tour

Lacuna Coil will return with their first Australian headline tour in a decade in early 2026.

Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil have just announced a 2026 Australian tour – their first in a decade.

After embarking on a headline tour across Australia in 2016, Lacuna Coil returned in 2022, with performances at Good Things Festival and supporting Gojira on their headline shows along the East Coast.

The band’s Sleepless Empire Australian tour begins at Brisbane’s The Tivoli on Thursday, 12 February. The fun continues at Sydney’s Liberty Hall on Saturday, 14 February, Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre on Sunday, 15 February, Adelaide’s The Gov on Tuesday, 17 February, and wraps at Perth’s Magnet House on Thursday, 19 February.

Pre-sale tickets will be available on Friday, 12 September, at 12 pm local time – register here to access the Early Bird tickets. The general sale opens on Tuesday, 16 September, at 12 pm local time via the Destroy All Lines website.

Lacuna Coil are touring in support of their new album, Sleepless Empire, released earlier this year. Featuring new fan favourites such as Never Dawn, I Wish You Were Dead, and Hosting The Shadow featuring Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe, the band maintained their dark intensity, melodic sorcery and seething ferocity.

Reviewing Lacuna Coil’s mighty set opening for Gojira in Melbourne, The Music’s Rod Whitfield said, “45 minutes probably isn’t enough for a band with more than a quarter of a century of history behind them, but we must take what we can get while they’re here on one of their rare sojourns Down Under.

“Tonight their set juxtaposes the water-tightness, pristine sound and wily live nous of a band that’s been around for that long with what appears to be levels of hunger similar to what they displayed 20 years ago when they released the mighty Comalies album.”

Complimenting frontwoman Cristina Scabbia’s performance, Whitfield added: “Tonight, she sounds fabulous, she looks fabulous, and with Andrea Ferro sharing the limelight, she co-forms one of the great dynamic duos in heavy music, and the crowd responds to their herculean clean/dirty vocal tradeoffs with boisterous enthusiasm.”
