The Temper Trap announce highly anticipated Australian headline dates for September/October 2026
Australian indie-rock stalwarts The Temper Trap will embark on their highly anticipated national tour across September-October 2026.
Having just announced their new album Sungazer – dropping 10 July – the tour celebrates the band’s first full-length project in ten years, as they return with an explosive, anthemic sound and more confident than ever before.
The Temper Trap will kick off the tour at Forum Melbourne on Friday 11 September before heading to Brisbane for a set at Night At The Parkland on Saturday 12 September. The band head to Hindley Street Music Hall, Adelaide on Wednesday 16 September before a performance at Night At The Barracks, Sydney on Friday 18 September and rounding out with a final show at ICF:Warehouse, Perth on Friday 9 October.
A special release in the band’s career, Sungazer reflects nearly two decades of evolution, blending The Temper Trap’s signature sound with fresh experimentation. Tracks like ‘Lucky Dimes’ and ‘Giving Up Air’ showcase a shift toward electronic textures and dancefloor energy, while title track ‘Into the Wild’ balances introspection with powerful crescendos. The album veers from yearning intimacy to full-throttle catharsis, from guitar-riffing indie tunes to heavy electronica, all anchored in Dougy’s expansive, instantly recognisable voice.
The Temper Trap will hit the road in 2026 in a monumental way, having last toured their home country in 2025 with a series of intimate East Coast headline shows. Recently announced to support UK rockers Muse on their North American tour, as well as a definitive return to US shores alongside festival sets at Outside Lands (San Francisco) and Summerfest (Milwaukee) sharing the stage with the likes of The Strokes, Rüfüs Du Sol and Charli XCX, the band will share Sungazer with fans across the globe and close to home for the very first time.
