- **Event Description**: Handsome Tours are pleased to present the return of Black Country, New Road to Australia + New Zealand in 2026!
Critically acclaimed British collective Black Country, New Road are thrilled to announce their forthcoming Australia + New Zealand tour, set to take place this summer. The announcement arrives in the wake of the band’s most recent studio album, Forever Howlong, which has attracted widespread praise for its recent harmonious reinvention- and recorder solos.

Released earlier this year via Ninja Tune, Forever Howlong marks a bold transformation for the group. Songwriting and vocal duties now shared amongst band members, give rise to a richly collaborative sound and warm communal spirit. ‘Triumph in the face of adversity’ goes some way to explaining the resulting joy.

Described by The Guardian as “a gentler, more bucolic direction” Forever Howlong has made notable chart inroads for the band, revealing new audiences and a revived sense of self.

Now Black Country, New Road are ready to share their evolving sound with Australian and New Zealand audiences. These theatrical live performances are a ‘mustn’t miss’ kind of situation.
