The Temper Trap

MG Live and Frontier Touring are thrilled to announce Australian indie-rock stalwarts The Temper Trap will embark on their highly anticipated national tour across September-October 2026.

Just announcing 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.

Frontier Members can access their presale on Thursday 16 April from 10am local time, before tickets go on sale from 11am local time on Friday 17 April. Tickets and tour information via frontiertouring.com/thetempertrap.

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.

Rising to global attention with their 2008 UK Top Ten debut single ‘Sweet Disposition’, the Melbourne locals quickly built an international following through their soaring vocals, reverb-heavy guitars, and anthemic choruses. Drawing from their debut album Conditions (2009) , the album achieved multi-platinum success in Australia and gold status in the UK, followed by The Temper Trap (2012) and Thick As Thieves (2016). One of the most sought-after bands to come out of Australia, they’ve accumulated billions of streams, won multiple ARIA Awards, and gained recognition from major global stages and tastemakers, with ‘Sweet Disposition’ cementing itself firmly in Australian music history.

Now, nearly twenty years after their breakthrough, The Temper Trap continue to evolve while staying true to their emotional core. With new music, collaborations, and now a national headline tour all in 2026, these unmissable live shows represent both a reinvention and a reaffirmation of what has made their music resonate: a powerful blend of personal vulnerability and communal, uplifting sound.
