The alternative rock legends are bringing their new album ‘There Near’ down under.
Get ready for some serious noise. Alternative rock icons Dinosaur Jr. are officially returning to Australia and New Zealand for a massive six-date tour in January 2027.
The original trio (J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph) will be hitting our shores to celebrate their thirteenth studio album, There Near. Known for their unmistakable blend of loose vocals and sharp guitars, the band shows zero signs of slowing down.
Where to Catch the Tour The 2027 run kicks off in New Zealand at the Auckland Town Hall on Saturday, January 16. From there, they cross the Tasman to play Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall (January 19), Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion (January 21), and the Forum in Melbourne (January 23). The tour then heads to Adelaide’s Hindley Street Music Hall on January 24, before wrapping up at the Ice Cream Factory in Perth on January 26.
Fresh Music and Classic Hits Fans can expect a mix of their sprawling back catalogue alongside fresh tracks. There Near marks their sixth studio album since the band’s famous reunion 20 years ago. Singles like ‘Several Got Away’ and ‘Blowin’ Up’ are set to sound massive live, right next to heavy-hitting classics like ‘Feel The Pain’ and ‘Just Like Heaven’.
