Joey Valence &amp; Brae (US)
Saturday 11 April - Forum - Melbourne 
WAITLIST - bit.ly/JVB26_waitlist 
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
It’s true - youth doesn’t last forever… but Joey Valence &amp; Brae have unofficially bottled it. From State College, Pennsylvania, this hyper-creative duo holds the keys to a perpetual fountain of energy, enthusiasm and relentless sonic invention that feels like an open invitation to dance. 

In 2025, JVB made their long-awaited Australia and Aotearoa debut, smashing through two sold-out headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne and commanding the crowd at Laneway Festival with an electrifying blend of bangers that had fans losing their minds. 

2026 tells a very similar story, as JVB return to Australia and New Zealand with their biggest shows yet, bringing their boldest statement to date - their new album HYPERYOUTH. Released late last year and produced, mixed, and mastered entirely by Valence in his State College, PA bedroom studio-meets-Pokémon shrine, the record is a masterclass in evolution and identity. It carries all the hallmarks of JVB’s signature sound - sample-rich layers, boisterous raps, booty-popping bars and EDM-infused grooves - but deeper, sharper and more thoughtful. Featuring heavy-hitting collaborators like JPEGMAFIA, Rebecca Black and TiaCorine, HYPERYOUTH isn’t just an album - it’s a manifesto about growing up without getting old, about preserving that reckless joy even as you’re becoming who you really are. 

It feels like just yesterday that Joey Valence &amp; Brae exploded out of the underground and onto the global stage with a sound that combined nostalgic boom-bap energy and hardcore punk bravado with Gen-Z hip-hop flamboyance, all wrapped in nerdcore wit and maximalist production. Their breakthrough single, “PUNK TACTICS”, didn’t just go viral, echoing across TikTok and tastemaker playlists - it became an anthem that surfaced in unexpected places across the landscape of pop culture, most recently appearing in a major Street Fighter teaser. 

Architects of joyful chaos and curators of an unrestrained energy, Joey Valence &amp; Brae create music that spans generations, cultural scenes and dance floors, with a sound that feels like every wild, carefree moment you’ve ever lived - anthemic, uproarious and unapologetically fun. 

JVB invite you into a world where excitement is a language and movement is mandatory. Don’t miss their return to Australia and New Zealand.
