The Cribs To Return To Australia

TX2 has unveiled Murder Scene, the latest single from his forthcoming debut album End Of Us, due for release on February 13 via Hopeless Records. Featuring Magnolia Park, the track represents a significant moment for two artists emerging from the current wave of emotionally charged alternative rock, both operating at the intersection of emo, pop punk and modern alternative culture.

US based guitarist and composer Marisa Anderson will return to Australia in February for her first solo tour, bringing a body of work that has steadily positioned her as one of the most distinctive guitar voices of her generation. The tour runs from February 24 to February 28 and follows Anderson's acclaimed 2022 visit for Melbourne's Rising Festival, where she performed alongside Dirty Three drummer Jim White.

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Jake Banfield is officially arriving in Australia this week, bringing with him a fresh summer anthem and a genre-defying sound that has quickly captured international attention.

Hawaiian singer-songwriter Thunderstorm Artis will return to Australia in March 2026, bringing his deeply personal live show to a carefully curated run of intimate venues across Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT and Queensland. Designed to prioritise connection over scale, the tour places Artis in close proximity to audiences, allowing his warm vocal delivery and reflective songwriting to resonate in the way his music was always intended.

Two of the most enduring and influential names in punk and power pop, Redd Kross and The Hard-Ons, have confirmed a significant update to their long-awaited joint Australian tour, announcing a Melbourne Saturday night venue upgrade alongside full national support details and documentary screenings that further underline the depth of history shared by both bands.

After more than three decades at the forefront of European rock, Finnish mainstays The Rasmus are finally about to tick off a long-standing omission from their touring history, their first ever Australian shows. With days to go before they land, the band have confirmed Melbourne outfit Nth Rd as special guests for all dates of the January and February run, marking a significant moment for both acts.

Award-winning British singer-songwriter Blair Dunlop will return to Australia in March 2026 for a major national tour. The visit follows earlier Australian appearances that built a strong connection with local audiences. Dunlop arrives in notable creative form, touring in support of his fifth studio album Out of the Rain released in 2024.
