Better Lovers (USA) Australian Debut 2026

Since launching in early 2023, metallic hardcore punk band Better Lovers has risen to global prominence at a pace as blistering as their chaotic music. Built from the foundation of Every Time I Die - guitarist Jordan Buckley, drummer Clayton “Goose” Holyoak, and bassist Stephen Micciche - the group could not have gone any harder than rounding out the ranks by enlisting former The Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato, and Fit For An Autopsy guitarist and super-producer Will Putney. After tearing it up all around the world for the last two years, and ripping out the absolutely stunning album Highly Irresponsible in 2024, the living legends will finally make their Australian debut with six killer shows this coming January. 

Joining the tour to also make their Australian debut will be the exciting British hybrid of shoegaze, post-hardcore, and nu-metal that is Split Chain, who released their debut album Motionblur earlier this year via the legendary Epitaph Records. The prolific and celebrated Gold Coast screamo/chaotic hardcore outfit Blind Girls will round out this incredibly fresh and compelling package.
