Beloved Aussie rockers Ocean Alley have announced five massive new shows to their 2026 Summer run, celebrating their acclaimed new album Love Balloon.
With previously announced dates selling fast, the band will now extend their tour along the Australian coast and regional locations this March with shows presented by SummerSalt – kicking off at Exhibition Park, Canberra (7 March), then heading to Torquay Common (8 March), Speers Point Park in Lake Macquarie (14 March), Sunshine Coast Stadium (15 March) and wrapping up at Glenelg Beach, Adelaide (21 March). They’ll be joined by an all-star lineup including DIY heroes Skegss, American rock band Allah-Las (all shows except Adelaide), Byron Bay psychedelic rockers Babe Rainbow, Melbourne garage rockers The Grogans (Adelaide only), indie-rock five piece Mid Drift, indie/psych-pop pals Le Shiv and raw indie-rockers Seaside – making for one of the band’s biggest outdoor tours to date.
These shows follow Ocean Alley’s capital city run in January, which will mark their largest ever headline dates, with stops in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Fremantle and Margaret River. East Coast shows feature Nothing But Thieves, Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Ruby Fields, while the West Coast welcomes Skegss, Ruby Fields and rising Perth outfit Smol Fish.
The tour comes on the heels of Love Balloon’s release – the band’s fifth studio album, which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Vinyl and Australian Album Charts, #3 on the ARIA Albums Chart and has remained in the Top 10 Australian Album Charts for six weeks. A journey through love and life in all its colour and chaos, the record is anchored by moments of light, vulnerability and connection, led by the luminous single “Drenched” and its nostalgic early-2000s-inspired video.
The new dates round out a huge 2025 for Ocean Alley – including their biggest headline show to date at London’s Alexandra Palace, two North American tours and their first South American shows across Brazil, Chile and Mexico. The band also made festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Sziget and Austin City Limits, as well as their breakthrough hit “Confidence” placing #65 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of Australian Songs.
With over 1 billion streams and a reputation for magnetic live performances, Ocean Alley have become one of Australia’s most successful musical exports. Across five albums – including 2022’s Low Altitude Living – the six-piece (Baden Donegal, Angus Goodwin, Lach Galbraith, Mitch Galbraith, Tom O’Brien and Nic Blom) continue to evolve their unmistakable sound. With chart success across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US – and nine Gold or higher accredited singles – Ocean Alley are stepping confidently into a bold new chapter, with stadium-sized ambition and an enduring global legacy in sight.
