UK alt rock duo Hot Milk are heading back to Australia, announcing a May 2026 east coast headline tour hitting Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Presented by Frontier Touring, Manchester outfit Hot Milk will kick things off at 170 Russell in Melbourne on Wednesday, May 20th, before rolling into Sydney’s Metro Theatre on May, 21st and wrapping up at Crowbar Brisbane May, 23rd, notably this marks their first ever headline show in Queensland.

Back With Something To Prove

Hot Milk’s 2023 Australian debut wasn’t exactly low key, two sweaty headline rooms and a national run supporting Foo Fighters, a band clearly testing how far they could push themselves in front of local crowds.

Across three EPs, Are You Feeling Alive?, I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I’M DEAD and The King And Queen Of Gasoline, plus 2023’s debut album A Call To The Void and 2025 follow-up Corporation P.O.P, Hannah Mee and Jim Shaw have shifted from cult favourites to a serious UK export. Main stages, sold-out UK runs, US rooms packed wall to wall.

2026 Is Already Stacked

The band opened 2026 in Mumbai at Lollapalooza, wrapped European headline dates, and have Japan locked before landing here, Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival follows in July.

They’re definitely not slowing down, three years later, they’re coming back sharper.

Local support comes from Melbourne’s Bad/Love, a band that leans into emotional weight and heavy dynamics without apology, a solid pairing for rooms that’ll run hot from the first chord.

Frontier members can access presale from tomorrow Tuesday, February 24th at 1pm local time, with general tickets on sale Wednesday, February 25th at 2pm local time, all shows are 18+.
