BLOOM 2026 AUSTRALIAN HEADLINE TOUR WITH SPECIAL GUESTS AVOID Prepare to step into a spectacular new chapter for melodic hardcore act BLOOM, with the Sydney five-piece set to release their eagerly-anticipated sophomore album this Friday, alongside the announcement today of a national Australian headline tour to officially launch the album on home soil next February, joined by special guests AVOID (USA).  Starting their national run on Wednesday 11 February in Brisbane, BLOOM will trek through the Gold Coast, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Melbourne and Frankston, before concluding on Saturday 21 February in Adelaide. One of the most prolific rising acts on the Australian heavy scene, BLOOM emerged in 2017, introducing the world to their open-veined take on melodic hardcore that would ultimately build into their 2024 debut full-length, Maybe In Another Life. Wasting no time to rest on their laurels or the acclaim that accompanied their debut LP, BLOOM quickly turned their gaze to working on their sophomore album The Light We Chase (due out October 31 via Pure Noise Records); a multi-faceted and matured collection of songs that finds the band extending their creative reach beyond internal and external expectations. Steeped in light and shade equally, amongst stadium-ready anthems, hazy moments that straddles shoegaze, grunge and dreampop, bone-rattling heaviness and lashings of authentic emotion, The Light We Chase firmly places BLOOM at the forefront of heavy music, while also boasting the group's first credited guest vocals, including Movements' Patrick Miranda, Yours Truly's Mikaila Delgado and Void Of Vision's Jack Bergin. Recently ticking off performances with Silverstein in Europe earlier this year, as well as performances throughout 2025 alongside Chelsea Grin, Currents, Trophy Eyes, and their own almost entirely sold out run in support of single Withered last month, BLOOM are now currently on the road with fellow Aussie staples Thornhill and Ocean Grove in the UK and Europe, and will close out the year in North America supporting Silverstein. With their live show declared most recently by HiFi Way as "a rip-roaring success", and Scenestr praising that "the energy is purely unmatched and is definitely a contender for performance of the year", BLOOM's anticipated return to Australian audiences in 2026 is only set to ignite further following the release of The Light We Chase this Friday. A band with no shortage of adjectives to describe their high-octane sound, spanning engaging, edgy, erratic, irreverent, wild, vibrant and fun, Seattle five-piece AVOID channel the insatiable sonic legacy of their home town into their own unique aesthetic, bringing passion, innovation and provication back into heavy music, while also building a powerful community in the process. Introducing a new era for the band via singles like My World, COWABUNGA and Split (Kill It) in the lead-up to their 2022 album Cult Mentality, AVOID have also carved out an enviable reputation for their live performance, catapulting 90s/00s aesthetics and infectious hedonism into the modern day that has seen them in demand touring with Silent Planet, Dayseeker and Thornhill amongst many others.

Astral People, Handsome Tours & Double J present… The Streets for the first time ever performing in full A Grand Don’t Come For Free The Streets broke through in 2002 with the Mercury Prize-nominated Original Pirate Material – widely regarded as one of the most influential British albums of recent times, whose impact on culture and UK music is still felt today. Four BRIT Award nominations for Best Album, Best Urban Act, Best Breakthrough Artist, and Best British Male Solo Artist followed. “Dry Your Eyes”, from 2005’s follow-up album A Grand Don’t Come For Free, won an Ivor Novello for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. Skinner also received a BRIT Award that same year for Best British Male Solo Artist. Since then, The Streets have released further LPs: The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (2006), Everything Is Borrowed (2008), Computer and Blues (2011), and 2020’s mixtape None Of Us Are Getting Out of This Alive. Skinner has collaborated with a who’s who of British music – from Kano to Fred Again, Greentea Peng, MasterPeace, Giggs, and notably Chris Lorenzo on clubland smash “Take Me As I Am”. In recent years, through his Mike Skinner LTD label, he’s worked with artists at the forefront of British music, including FLOHIO, Ghetts, and Grim Sickers. His most recent album, The Darker The Shadow, The Brighter The Light, marked Skinner’s return with a full-length project blending his signature spoken-word lyricism with cinematic storytelling. The album pairs with a self-directed film of the same name, weaving a noir-inspired narrative through gritty beats, UK garage, and introspective themes of fame, identity, and survival. An inimitable live performer with extensive experience both behind the decks and on the microphone, Skinner is renowned for his boisterous onstage presence and ability to captivate audiences from intimate venues to major festivals. Whether performing a live-streamed lockdown set or a garage and bassline DJ set, Skinner commands the stage with undeniable presence and his trademark tongue-in-cheek humour. When The Streets announced a comeback tour in 2017, tickets sold out in less than a minute – a testament to the lasting impact The Streets continue to have across several generations of fans. Originally released in 2004, A Grand Don’t Come For Free remains one of the most important and influential British albums of the 21st century. Entering the UK charts at No.1, the record went multi-platinum and delivered era-defining singles including “Dry Your Eyes”, “Fit But You Know It”, and “Blinded By The Lights”. It cemented Skinner as one of the UK’s most original and vital voices, capturing the humour, heartbreak, and raw emotion of everyday life with rare poetic clarity. This Australian tour marks the first time The Streets will perform the album in its entirety, giving fans the chance to experience the full story exactly as intended: a cinematic journey through love, loss, chaos, heartbreak, and hope, delivered with Skinner’s trademark honesty and wit. Alongside the album, The Streets will also perform a selection of Mike Skinner’s most beloved songs from across his catalogue.
