The Beths Shine in Their Debut Performance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

This Auckland-based power-pop band performed the title track from their latest album, Straight Line Was a Lie, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. You can check out their performance below.
The Upcoming North American Tour
Their late-night appearance is a precursor to the North American segment of their world tour, which kicked off last month in the UK and Europe. The band is set to take the stage at some of their largest venues in the U.S. and Canada, including The Wiltern in Los Angeles and The Fillmore in San Francisco.
New Zealand Tour Announcement
Tickets for the New Zealand tour will go on sale to the public on Wednesday, November 5th, at 8 AM local time, with a pre-sale beginning on Monday, November 3rd, at 8 AM local time.
Australia Tour Highlights
This announcement follows their recent confirmation of a run of shows in Australia, marking their largest headline tour there to date.
Straight Line Was a Lie has received positive reviews, earning a score of 3.5 out of 5 from critics. One review noted, “Four records in, The Beths have honed a formula that works—earworm choruses, insightful lyrics, and Stokes’ captivating vocals backed by rich harmonies and sharp guitars. This latest album embraces growth while recognizing that the cycle is an ongoing journey.”
Additionally, their previous album, Expert in a Dying Field, achieved a spot on the 80 Best New Zealand Albums of the 2020s So Far list.
