Of Monsters And Men Announce 2026 Australian Tour

Of Monsters And Men return to Australia for the first time in six years this May.

After six years, Icelandic indie folk favourites Of Monsters And Men are returning to Australia in 2026.

Touring in support of their just-released album, All is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade, their first in six years, the Little Talks hitmakers will bring new music Down Under for the first time this May.

Of Monsters And Men’s highly anticipated return begins at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Sunday, 17 May. From there, they’ll perform at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Tuesday, 19 May, Thirroul’s Anita’s Theatre on Wednesday, 20 May, and conclude the run at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Friday, 22 May.

Frontier Members can access pre-sale tickets on Monday, 23 February, at 11 am local time, followed by the general sale on Tuesday, 24 February, at 12 pm local time. You can find more ticketing information on the Frontier Touring website.

All is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade was released in October 2025 via Skarkali Records and marked the long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s Fever Dream. Thematically, the record mines themes of love, pain, loneliness, and connection as the band showcases their signature brand of atmospheric indie rock.

For their forthcoming tour, Of Monsters And Men will be joined by special guest Gordi. The Australian indie-pop singer-songwriter is an award-winning artist with an impressive global reputation, and tours with the band once more after opening for them on their 2016 run across the country.

Gordi plays her own headline shows in Australia before the Of Monsters And Men tour dates in support of her latest album, Like Plasticine.

Reviewing the band’s most recent outing in Australia – in January 2020 – The Music’s Michael Prebeg wrote:

Of Monsters & Men have a powerful ability to make us feel connected and present in the moment. Something that comes very naturally for them is the way they create contrast in each song – either starting off slow and building into something big, or starting out with a bang and then dropping it back down. They build each song with such intense and heartfelt passion and ensure the audience can participate by chanting along as one voice.
