Share
La Dispute’s return to Australia just got even bigger, with the Michigan post-hardcore favourites announcing a second Melbourne performance after their original 170 Russell show sold out.
The newly added La Dispute concert will take place on Tuesday, October 20th at 170 Russell, joining the band’s previously announced national run celebrating their latest album, No One Was Driving The Car.
The announcement also confirms local support acts for every Australian date, with Brisbane outfit Special Features appearing across the entire tour, the second Melbourne show will feature support from R.U.B, while the first sold out Melbourne performance will include Craning.
La Dispute’s Australian tour begins in Perth before heading through Frankston, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane, the additional Melbourne date follows strong demand, with both Frankston and the original Melbourne show already selling out.

One of the defining features of the tour remains its accessibility, with six of the eight shows welcoming younger fans through all ages or licensed all ages formats.
Explaining why that’s important to the band, vocalist Jordan Dreyer previously said:
“All of us were underage when we first started going to local shows at home in West Michigan… it’s been a priority always to keep our doors open to all comers where possible, so that anyone—including (or especially, really) younger people—have the same opportunities afforded to us at a crucial age.”
La Dispute ‘I Shaved My Head’
Released last year via Epitaph Records, No One Was Driving The Car marked La Dispute’s first studio album in six years and found the band exploring themes of technology, existential uncertainty and human connection. The self-produced record was created across the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and the Philippines.
