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 - Jordan Buckley, Clayton “Goose” Holyoak, and Stephen Micciche - the group could not have gone any harder 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 ripper shows this coming January. 

Joining them to also make their Australian debut will be the exciting British hybrid of shoegaze, post-hardcore, and nu-metal hybrid that is Split Chain, who released their debut album Motionblur in 2024 via the legendary Epitaph Records. The prolific and celebrated Gold Coast screamo/chaotic hardcore outfit Blind Girls will round out this incredibly fresh and unique package.
