Shinedown & Bush Announce 2026 Australian Co-Headline Tour

Bush and Shinedown will perform in huge venues across Australia and New Zealand this September.

Two indisputable music icons – American rockers Shinedown and British alternative heroes Bush – are teaming up for an epic co-headline tour across Australia and New Zealand, the shows marking Shinedown’s first visit to the region in 15 years. Bush last toured Australia in 2022, performing on the Under The Southern Stars line-up alongside Cheap Trick, Stone Temple Pilots, and more.

The tour begins at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Thursday, 17 September. It continues at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Sunday, 20 September, Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Wednesday, 23 September, Melbourne’s John Cain Arena on Friday, 25 September, Adelaide’s AEC Theatre on Sunday, 27 September, and concludes at Perth HPC on Tuesday, 29 September.

Shinedown are heading to Australia in support of their forthcoming eighth album, EI8HT, set for release on Friday, 29 May. Meanwhile, Bush dropped their most recent album, I Beat Loneliness, last year, with frontman Gavin Rossdale telling The Music’s Tyler Jenke:

When somebody writes a song that you connect to emotionally, you cease to feel alone. You feel understood, you feel seen, and you feel connected with. That’s the magic of music, that’s the magic of words and all that for me, and so I just distilled that information [for this album] really.

With combined hits such as Second Chance, Glycerine, Sound of Madness, Comedown, MONSTERS, and Machinehead, fans should prepare for evenings of era-defining rock songs in huge venues.

Already one of the most anticipated Australian tours of the year, the tour offers numerous pre-sale options for fans. The Artist pre-sale – via the Shinedown and Bush websites – opens on Friday, 6 March, at 9 am local time.
