Australia, the wait is over. Prepare to witness the beautiful chaos that is BETTER LOVERS next year, with the iconic hardcore group, consisting of Greg Puciato (vocals), Jordan Buckley (guitar), Will Putney (guitar, producer), Steve Micciche (bass) and Clayton "Goose" Holyoak (drums), primed to make their Aussie live debut in January 2026, joined by special guests SPLIT CHAIN and BLIND GIRLS.

With the amalgamation of some of the scene's most prolific musicians rallying together over a shared vision of creative fearlessness and relentless energy, BETTER LOVERS were always bound to be something magic and memorable; but with each new release the group, bringing together members of Every Time I Die, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Fit For An Autopsy, have organically and collectively evolved into something that borders on otherworldly.

Also set to make their Australian debut in 2026, British genre chameleons SPLIT CHAIN will be bringing their exciting mix of shoegaze, post hardcore and nu metal down under.

Gold Coast DIY screamo heroes BLIND GIRLS have been fortifying their trademark blend of dark chaos and cathartic hardcore channeling hardcore, screamo and everything in between into their magnetic creative output, BLIND GIRLS most recently unleashed their third studio album An Exit Exists in 2024.
