After billboards popped up across the country, it’s official: for the first time in nearly a decade, Good Charlotte is returning to Australia. The Madden brothers and their iconic pop-punk band are set to bring their high-energy performances to local and regional stages.

The Motel Du Cap World Tour celebrates the release of their eighth studio album of the same name. This record blends the rawness of their early work with the confidence of seasoned artists who have conquered global stages. Each show promises a mix of new tracks and fan-favorite anthems like “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous,” “The Anthem,” “Little Things,” and “I Just Wanna Live.”
Joining them for the entire tour is American rock band Yellowcard, known for hits like “Ocean Avenue” and “Only One.” Australian fans will also get a special treat as local rockers Kisschasy join the lineup for all Australian shows.
Lead vocalist Joel Madden expressed the band’s excitement to reconnect with their Australian fans, saying, “Australia is such a special place to Good Charlotte and to me personally, it feels like a home away from home in many ways, and we can’t wait to head back there for some big shows”.
