The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Touring Australia & New Zealand March 2026

Cult psych drone collective The Brian Jonestown Massacre bring their sonically immersive live experience back to Australia & New Zealand in 2026.

Lead as always by the singular vision of Anton Newcombe, The Brian Jonestown Massacre deliver back catalogue highlights, fan favourites and deeper album cuts, along with new revelations from their 20 album plus evolution.

As seen recently while blazing trails across Europe and the US, including a highlight set at Glastonbury, the band continues to grow, shape shifting in real time in the live space. Sitting seamlessly beside decades-deep cult cuts, newer songs taken from 2023’s Your Future Is Your Past, and current singles “Makes Me Great" and "Out of Body," crackle with intent, delivering always that familiar revelation.

Fiercely self-administered, The Brian Jonestown Massacre featuring long time conspirators Joel Gion and Ricky Maymi continue to exist to spite the whims of the zeitgeist, instead inhabiting a deep psychedelic furrow lined with ramparts of guitar drone, psychedelic pulsation and experimental shoe gaze texture to fortify Newcombe’s relentless output.

Joining for select dates will be Stockholm’s Les Big Byrd, a new discovery who have been opening for BJM on European dates across 2025 and have had critics gushing over their 60s psychedelic harmonies and sonic marriage of psychedelic krautrock and shoegaze, a treat for soon to be Australian fans.
