Fun Lovin' Criminals haven't released an album in 15 years, and they're celebrating with an Aussie tour.
The New York trio will play three east coast dates behind A Matter of Time, their seventh studio album and first full-length release since 2010’s Classic Fantastic. Fun Lovin’ Criminals dropped the record in August 2025, with founding member and multi-instrumentalist Brian ‘Fast’ Leiser and drummer Frank Benbini steering the ship as both writers and producers. Mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Tim Latham, the album sees the band lean back into the kind of rock and hip-hop fusion that put them on the map in the mid-90s.

The Australian run follows a huge 29-date international tour in 2025 that saw the band road-testing new material across the globe. With three decades of touring under their belt, six studio albums, two covers records and a stack of sought-after remixes, Fun Lovin’ Criminals have built a serious reputation as one of the most energetic live acts going around. Alongside fresh cuts from A Matter of Time, audiences can expect to hear their biggest hit Scooby Snacks — which famously sampled dialogue from Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs and has shifted millions of copies worldwide — plus beloved tracks like King of New York, Love Unlimited, Korean Bodega and Big Night Out.
Over 30 years, the band have carved out a devoted cult following that stretches well beyond their New York origins. Their ability to weave together elements of rock, hip-hop, blues and jazz into something distinctly their own has kept fans locked in, and A Matter of Time proves the trio haven’t lost a step. Three intimate East Coast venues and a setlist spanning three decades of material should give Australian fans plenty to get excited about.
