Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers Plot 2026 Australian Tour

It’s a huge day for Canberra rockers Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers, who today unveil the latest single from their forthcoming album GLORY and announce their largest tour of Australia and New Zealand to date.

BAIT lasts a little over two minutes and is propelled by a thick bass riff. Meanwhile, vocalist Anna Ryan sings in a near-robotic tone in the verses before swirling guitars enter the track.

The band said of the single, “BAIT is big ego, full menace mode. We wrote it in LA, channelling a delusional man who thinks he’s God’s gift to earth. It was fun to cosplay as someone we’d all probably hate in real life.”

The tour will find Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers performing in their biggest venues to date, with multiple all-ages shows booked across Australia and New Zealand. For the Australian shows, the band will be joined by special guest Darcie Haven.

Kicking things off at Adelaide’s The Gov on Friday, 1 May, the tour continues at Perth’s Magnet House on Saturday, 2 May, Brisbane’s Princess Theatre on Thursday, 7 May, Melbourne’s Forum on Friday, 8 May, and concludes at Sydney’s Roundhouse on Saturday, 9 May.
