Dinosaur Jr. will return to Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand in January 2027, opening at Auckland Town Hall before five Australian headline shows. It’s the Massachusetts trio’s first visit since their 2024 tour celebrating 30 years of Where You Been.
J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph return with There Near, their 13th studio album and first since 2021’s Sweep It Into Space. Released through Jagjaguwar, it gives the band new material to play alongside a catalogue that stretches from ‘Freak Scene’ to ‘Feel the Pain’.
The Australian leg opens at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall and closes at Perth’s Ice Cream Factory. Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion show is licensed all ages.
