Australia and New Zealand, get ready! Two indisputable rock icons will join forces in 2026, with American chart-toppers SHINEDOWN and British alternative legends BUSH teaming up for a massive co-headline tour this September, with the tour also marking SHINEDOWN’s first performances down under in over 15 years.
Commencing on Thursday 17 September in Auckland, this monumental rock’n’roll extravaganza will head through Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, before closing out proceedings in Perth on Tuesday 29 September.
One of rock’s most revered live acts, SHINEDOWN’s relentless energy and audience connection have been a staple of their performances for decades, with their diverse back catalogue balancing moments of spectacle with breaths of emotive finesse. With over 15 years having now passed since the group have graced Australian crowds, SHINEDOWN’s return in 2026 will undeniably showcase to audiences down under why The Rockpit declared of their 2025 Minneapolis performance: “they are the best rock band touring right now in the United States…if you are someone who loves rock shows and enjoy watching a band take over an arena, Shinedown is a must see.”
On a live front, BUSH have remained stalwart fan-favourite for decades, in demand both for their electrifying stage presence as well as the ever-commanding charisma of frontman Gavin Rossdale. Having shared stages over the years with fellow greats of the scene, ranging from Stone Temple Pilots through to Alice In Chains, Nickelback and countless more, BUSH have also paid multiple visits to Australia throughout their career, most recently performing in 2022 at Under The Southern Stars.
