Australia’s rock and metal scenes are going full throttle in 2025 and 2026, and we’re here to give you the ultimate gig guide for what’s hot—and what’s on sale right now. From nostalgic throwbacks to face-melting riffs, these upcoming shows are shaking up the scene in the best way possible. And the best part? Every single one of them is available through Ticketmaster, so your next concert experience is just a click away. Let’s dive into the lineup that’s about to own the alt calendar.
First up is SummerSalt Festival 2025, a beloved event that blends laid-back coastal vibes with a carefully curated lineup of rock, indie, and alt sounds. Think sun, sea, and soundchecks. Next, prepare your eyeliner and feathers: The Rasmus are bringing their Weirdo Tour 2026 to Australia, delivering the kind of dramatic emo rock nostalgia that only they can. Australia’s very own Jebediah are also back with their 30 Od Years Tour—yes, 30 years of iconic Aussie rock with the same lovable energy they’ve always had.
We’re also amped for the return of Transvision Vamp—one of the most electric and rebellious acts of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, back to reclaim their throne. For something darker and modern, Banks Arcade are set to burn down the house with their Vipers Australian Tour, a high-octane journey into heavy alt-rock with emo flair. And for prog-metal heads, Karnivool’s Ad Complementum Tour is shaping up to be one of the most powerful live shows of 2025–2026, pushing sonic boundaries and expanding minds in equal measure.
