## AUS Coastal 2026 Tour Schedule

The ‘AUS Coastal 2026’ tour kicks off at Canberra’s Exhibition Park on **Saturday, March 7th, 2026**. Following that, the band will perform at Torquay Common on **Sunday, March 8th**, and then head to Speers Point Park in Lake Macquarie on **Saturday, March 14th**.

This tour is brought to you by the popular SummerSalt festival, which aims to unite people in picturesque settings and celebrate the joy of live music.

### Upcoming Australian and New Zealand Tours

The ‘AUS Coastal 2026’ tour follows a substantial series of shows in Australia during January, along with performances in New Zealand in February. This run will feature Ocean Alley’s largest headline shows to date in support of their fifth album, *Love Balloon*.

The six-member band includes Baden Donegal (vocals), Angus Goodwin (guitar), Lach Galbraith (keys/vocals), Mitch Galbraith (guitar), Tom O’Brien (drums), and Nic Blom (bass). They recorded *Love Balloon* over approximately two months, collaborating for the first time with renowned producer Nick DiDia, known for his work with legendary artists like Bruce Springsteen and Rage Against the Machine.

Ocean Alley has established itself as a significant musical force in Australia. Their five albums, including the critically acclaimed *Low Altitude Living* from 2022, showcase their unique sound and have resonated with audiences worldwide.

With chart-topping hits in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA, and nine singles certified Gold or higher, Ocean Alley is set to embark on an ambitious new chapter, aiming to leave a lasting legacy in the music industry.

### Supporting Acts

Ocean Alley will be joined by various supporting acts throughout the tour. All shows will include Skegss, Babe Rainbow, Mid Drift, Le Shiv, and Seaside, while Allah-Las will perform at all locations except Adelaide, where The Grogans will take their place.

Skegss has evolved from a small-town surf punk band to ARIA-charting rock stars, celebrated for their lively performances and their album *Rehearsal*. Meanwhile, Babe Rainbow, originating from Byron Bay, brings a vibe of psychedelic joy and coastal relaxation.

Up-and-coming group Mid Drift is known for their catchy hooks, while Le Shiv has gained international recognition for their genre-blending sound. Seaside strikes a balance between dreamy melancholy and alt-rock energy, representing a new era of Australia’s coastal music.

Los Angeles-based Allah-Las are returning to Australia, bringing their sun-kissed sounds that combine surf, folk, and rock, honed over five successful albums. In contrast, Melbourne’s The Grogans blend surf, garage, and punk influences in their extensive discography and global tours.

### Ticket Information

General ticket sales will commence at 9 AM on **Friday, October 31st**. Fans can take advantage of presales from the artist, SummerSalt, and Live Nation starting at 9 AM on **Thursday, October 30th**, along with a Spotify presale beginning at 11 AM on the same day.
