After a run of shows in Australia last year, Of Mice & Men will return in 2026 for another massive tour.
Of Mice & Men’s shows will take place in May 2026. Starting at Perth’s Magnet House on Tuesday, 5 May, the tour continues at Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory on Thursday, 7 May, Melbourne’s 170 Russell on Friday, 8 May, Sydney’s Manning Bar on Saturday, 9 May. It concludes at Brisbane’s The Triffid on Sunday, 10 May.
While it’s a speedy tour, Of Mice & Men have plenty on offer, with their ninth album, Another Miracle, set for release on Friday, 14 November.
That’s not all, though: for their upcoming return to Australia, the American hard rock group will be joined by very special guests, Crystal Lake.
The tour marks Crystal Lake’s first shows Down Under in six years. Since their last Australian shows, the Japanese outfit has grown even more colossal and is recognised as a global force in heavy music.

Of Mice & Men frontman Aaron Pauley said of the band’s return to Australia, “Australia holds a special place in our hearts. The crowds there are unmatched in their passion and chaos.
“After the love we felt last year, we are stoked to return with a new show and tear the roof off once again. It feels like coming home with family. Get ready for the pits to open wide.”
Of Mice & Men have enjoyed a longstanding touring career in Australia since 2011, making their debut in intimate Aussie venues before returning for the biggest-ever Soundwave Festival in 2013.
They played at Soundwave festival again in 2015, and, in 2018, embarked on a headline tour across the country. Their follow-up Australian shows took place in 2024.
