Get ready to scream your little elder emo lungs out, Australia cause American post hardcore/emo champions Rain City Drive are making their long awaited headline debut in March 2026, bringing their electrifying live show to stages across the country. Presented by TEG MJR, the Florida five piece will hit Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth (THEY DIDN’T FORGET!) for a week of pure chaos, emotion, and singalongs that’ll live rent free in your head for months.

Joining them on all dates are viral alt rock phenom TX2, whose boundary pushing energy has taken TikTok by storm and Sydney’s own rising metalcore group Melrose Avenue rounding out a stacked lineup that’s about to wreck your vocal cords in the best way possible.

From the anthemic highs of Talk to a Friend and Heavier (which have racked up over 100 million streams btw. Huge!) to their 2024 record ‘Things Are Different Now’, Rain City Drive have built a reputation for delivering emotionally charged, arena sized bangers that hit just as hard live as they do blasting through your headphones. Whether you’re a day one fan (like me!) from their early post hardcore roots or a recent convert, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for.

With tracks like ‘Medicate Me’ and ‘Frozen’ already soundtracking heartbreaks and comebacks around the world, it’s finally Australia’s turn to experience the intensity firsthand.

Expect soaring vocals, massive hooks, and a crowd that’ll leave every venue shaking.

Tour Dates:

Friday 6th March — 170 Russell, Melbourne

Saturday 7th March — Metro Theatre, Sydney

Sunday 8th March — The Triffid, Brisbane

Wednesday 11th March — The Gov, Adelaide

Friday 13th March — Magnet House, Perth

Local Presale: Tuesday 11th November, 11AM local

General On Sale: Wednesday 12th November, 12PM local via teglive.com.au

Don’t leave this hanging. Rain City Drive’s first ever Aussie headline run is set to be an all out emotional rollercoaster (and I’m so ready for it). Grab your tickets, bring your best buddies and get ready to scream every word.
