Hot Milk are bringing their east coast headline tour to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this May, three years after their Australian debut.
The Manchester duo of Hannah Mee and Jim Shaw last visited in 2023, when they played headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne and crossed the country as support for Foo Fighters.
Hot Milk have had a packed start to 2026, playing their first-ever show in Mumbai at Lollapalooza India in January before wrapping a European headline run earlier this month.

Japan is on the schedule before they land in Australia, with a slot at Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival locked in for July. The duo have gone from meeting in a Manchester bar in 2016 to becoming one of the UK’s most prominent young rock exports, supporting the likes of Foo Fighters and Green Day along the way.
Across three EPs and two albums — A Call To The Void in 2023 and Corporation P.O.P in 2025, both out through Sony Music Australia and Music For Nations — Hot Milk have built their reputation on chaotic, high-energy live sets. They’ve headlined London’s KOKO and the Roundhouse, sold out rooms across the UK, Europe and the US, and become festival main stage regulars.
Melbourne’s Bad/Love are opening all three dates. The alt-rock outfit have carved out a lane in Australia’s heavy scene with a sound that sits somewhere between crushing riffs and cinematic arrangements. The Brisbane show at Crowbar marks Hot Milk’s first headline gig in Queensland.
