By massive demand, Australian rockers/alt-metallers The Butterfly Effect are hitting the road again in 2025, celebrating 21 years of their seminal debut album, Begins Here.
After a hugely successful 20 Years of Begins Here tour that hit capital cities across Australia this year, The Butterfly Effect put a call-out to their fans to choose where they’d perform in 2025. The 21 Years of Begins Here regional tour will span 25 dates around the country from late January through to March, with the band set to perform Begins Here in its entirety, as well as some other ripping tracks.
The tour begins in Cairns on Thursday, 30 January, before the band head to Townsville, Mackay, Gladstone, Caloundra, Ipswich, the Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour, Gosford, Wollongong, Penrith, Dee Why, Albury, Torquay, Ferntree Gully, Frankston, Margaret River, Bunbury, Fremantle, Joondalup, Castlemaine, Mildura, Mount Gambier, and Pooraka, wrapping the tour in Darwin on Friday, 14 March.
Drummer Ben Hall said of the tour, “For this tour, we basically threw it open to the fans to tell us where they wanted us to play!
“We put most of the suggestions into a voting form, the punters voted, and from there, we made the final cut. Some towns had a massive amount of interest, but unfortunately, finding a venue proved too difficult this time around. Next time, we might just bring a stage on the back of a truck!”

Hall continued, “We haven't visited some of these towns in over a decade — possibly even longer! And come to think of it, some of these towns we've never visited at all!
“Fans can expect the album in its entirety, with a splash of the back catalogue to boot! For us, we love playing, and as long as we're not losing a tonne of money to put the show on, we'll pretty much play anywhere, anytime!”
Vocalist Clint Boge added, “It feels amazing to still be doing what we love and to be celebrating 21 years of our first album is very humbling. I never envisioned having a career spanning three decades, but I am very grateful and eternally thankful to the fans, friends and people who have helped along the way and made it possible.”
Tickets to the band’s 21 Years of Begins Here regional tour are on sale now via The Butterfly Effect’s website. For the tour, they’ll be joined by special guests, Hands Like Houses.
