Beartooth bring the Pure Ecstasy World Tour to Australia in the last week of January 2027. The Ohio band led by Caleb Shomo open at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on Tuesday 26 January 2027, then play Festival Hall in Melbourne on Thursday 28 January, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on Saturday 30 January and The Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Sunday 31 January.
It is a headline run of four shows in six days, with two American heavy bands as special guests: Fit For A King and Volumes. The tour follows Pure Ecstasy, Beartooth's sixth studio album and their first for Fearless Records, released on 28 August 2026. Tickets have been on sale since Friday 22 May 2026.
This page lists the confirmed dates and venues, gives a night-by-night view of the tour and goes back over the band's documented concerts in Australia since their first visit in May 2015, from pubs and youth centres to the Riverstage and Margaret Court Arena. It also covers their records, recent set lists and how ticketing works for these shows.
The Australian dates were announced on 17 May 2026, more than three months before Pure Ecstasy came out. The album had been trailed by the singles "Free" in February, the title track in May and "Bullshit" in June 2026, and it entered the ARIA albums chart at number 21, Beartooth's second-best Australian placing after Aggressive.
The run starts in South Australia on Australia Day, Tuesday 26 January 2027, at the Thebarton Theatre in Torrensville, a hall the band already know from 2016 and 2017. Two nights later they are at Festival Hall in West Melbourne on Thursday 28 January, a room they last played as a support act in June 2017. Sydney follows on Saturday 30 January at the Hordern Pavilion in Moore Park, and the tour closes on Sunday 31 January at The Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, a venue that is new to Beartooth's Australian story.
Fit For A King, the Texas metalcore band, and Volumes, from Los Angeles, are on every date. As of 9 October 2026 there is no Perth or Fremantle show, no Canberra date and no New Zealand leg, although the band played Western Australia in 2015, 2016 and 2023.
These are Beartooth's first Australian headline shows since the Disease Tour Part II in July 2019, when they played pubs and clubs such as the Corner Hotel and The Triffid. The step up to rooms of around 2,000 to 5,500 shows how far the band have grown here; their last Australian visit, in July 2023, was a co-headline tour with Pierce the Veil.
The Thebarton Theatre is a concert hall in Torrensville, in Adelaide's inner west. It opened in 1928 as a combined town hall and picture theatre and holds about 2,000 people.
Festival Hall opened in 1913 on Dudley Street, West Melbourne, as a boxing venue known as 'the House of Stoush'. Rebuilt after a 1955 fire in time for the 1956 Olympics, it hosted the Beatles in 1964 and holds about 5,400 people.
The Hordern Pavilion is a concert and events hall at Moore Park in Sydney, built in 1924 for the Royal Agricultural Society as exhibition space for the Royal Easter Show. Named after the Hordern retail family, it holds about 5,500 people.
A large live-music hall in Fortitude Valley, the inner-city district that grew into Brisbane's main live music and nightclub area from the 1990s. It is one of the city's biggest standing venues for touring acts.
Tuesday 26 January 2027 — Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide. Beartooth last played Thebarton Theatre on 17 June 2017 (Aggressive). This is the opening night of the run.
Thursday 28 January 2027 — Festival Hall, Melbourne. Beartooth last played Festival Hall on 18 June 2017 (Aggressive).
Saturday 30 January 2027 — Hordern Pavilion, Sydney. Beartooth last played Hordern Pavilion on 27 July 2023.
Sunday 31 January 2027 — The Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane. In Brisbane, the last documented Beartooth concert was at Riverstage (29 July 2023). This venue closes the tour.
Beartooth first toured Australia in late May and early June 2015, a year after their debut album Disgusting. The setlist.fm archive shows nine shows in eleven days: two nights at The Triffid in Brisbane on 28 and 29 May, the Roundhouse in Sydney on 30 May, the Magpies Sports Club in Canberra on 31 May, the YMCA HQ in Perth on 2 June, Metropolis Fremantle on 3 June, the HQ Complex in Adelaide on 4 June, and then 170 Russell and Arrow on Swanston in Melbourne on 5 and 6 June. The documented sets were short, around seven songs, built from "Relapsing", "Dead", "In Between", "The Lines", "I Have a Problem", "Beaten in Lips" and "Body Bag".
They came back in August 2016, two months after Aggressive was released, on a run the archive files under that album's name. It opened at the Eatons Hill Hotel in Brisbane on 16 August, moved to the Big Top at Luna Park in Sydney on 17 August and the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on 18 August, then stayed in Melbourne for three nights at 170 Russell from 20 to 22 August before ending at the Astor Theatre in Perth on 23 August. The sets were again compact, six to eight songs, with "Aggressive", "Hated" and "Fair Weather Friend" from the new record.
In June 2017 Beartooth were part of The Amity Affliction's Australian tour, playing seven-song sets on bigger stages: the Thebarton Theatre on 17 June, Festival Hall in Melbourne on 18 June, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 22 June and the Riverstage in Brisbane on 24 June. It was the band's first taste of the outdoor Riverstage, which they would play again six years later.
The Disease Tour Part II, in July 2019, was a proper headline tour with full sets of 15 to 16 songs, including a drum solo. It played The Governor Hindmarsh Hotel in Adelaide on 11 July, the Corner Hotel in Melbourne on 12 July, the Metro Theatre in Sydney on 13 July and The Triffid in Brisbane on 14 July. In Adelaide they added "Greatness or Death", the only time it appears in the Australian archive.
In July 2023 Beartooth co-headlined with Pierce the Veil, with Dayseeker as special guests. Strong demand moved the eastern shows into larger rooms: Metropolis Fremantle on 22 July, the AEC Theatre in Adelaide on 24 July, Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne on 26 July, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 27 July and the Riverstage in Brisbane on 29 July. Their sets ran to 12 or 13 songs, from "Devastation" to "The Last Riff".
That makes 29 Australian shows in the archive across five visits, and none in New Zealand. Brisbane and Melbourne have seen the band most often; the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, the Riverstage in Brisbane and the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide are the venues they have played on two different tours, and in January 2027 the Hordern and the Thebarton each get a third Beartooth night.
The table below lists 29 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Beartooth between 2015 and 2023, with the most shows in Melbourne (8), Brisbane (6), Sydney (5), Adelaide (5), Fremantle (2), Perth (2). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Concert data: setlist.fm
Across the 15 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (22 August 2016 to 29 July 2023), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Beartooth's Australian record is made of club and theatre tours rather than festivals: the setlist.fm archive lists no Australian or New Zealand festival appearance. Their best-known festival sets have been in Europe, at Download and at Reading and Leeds in 2015, and in the United States on the Vans Warped Tour, which they played in full in 2014 and 2015.
The 2027 dates are all headline shows with Fit For A King and Volumes. No Australian festival booking had been announced as of 9 October 2026.
Caleb Shomo started writing Beartooth songs in Columbus, Ohio, in 2012, while he was still in the metalcore band Attack Attack!. It was meant to be a side project; "Set Me on Fire" was the first song he wrote for it. After leaving Attack Attack! he made Beartooth his full-time band and recruited a live line-up from that group's touring crew. On record, Shomo has sung, played every instrument and produced almost everything himself.
The band signed to Red Bull Records in June 2013 and released the EP Sick in July 2013. The debut album Disgusting followed on 10 June 2014, with "Beaten in Lips" as its first single. In Australia their first three albums came out through UNFD alongside Red Bull.
Aggressive (June 2016) reached number 18 in Australia, still their highest ARIA placing, and won the Loudwire award for best rock album. Disease (September 2018) and Below (June 2021) kept them on rock radio, and The Surface (October 2023) brought the US Mainstream Rock number one "Might Love Myself". In total they have topped that chart three times, with "Might Love Myself", "I Was Alive" and "Cut the Line" with Papa Roach. "In Between" has been certified platinum in the United States.
In February 2026 the band moved to Fearless Records, and Pure Ecstasy followed on 28 August 2026, reaching number 21 in Australia. The current line-up around Shomo includes drummer Connor Denis, a full member since 2018, and guitarist Will Deely, who joined permanently in 2021. In 2022 Beartooth were named best international artist at the UK's Heavy Music Awards.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Disgusting | 2014 | — |
| Aggressive | 2016 | AUS 18 |
| Disease | 2018 | AUS 66 |
| Below | 2021 | AUS 42 |
| The Surface | 2023 | — |
| Pure Ecstasy | 2026 | AUS 21 |
Few touring bands have climbed the Australian venue ladder as visibly as Beartooth. In 2015 they played the Magpies Sports Club in Canberra and the YMCA HQ in Perth; in 2019, as headliners, they were still in pubs like the Corner Hotel and The Governor Hindmarsh. In 2023 they shared Margaret Court Arena and the Riverstage with Pierce the Veil.
The 2027 run sits between those two worlds. Festival Hall and the Hordern Pavilion hold roughly 5,000 people each, while the Thebarton Theatre and The Fortitude Music Hall are big theatre-sized rooms. For a band whose last solo headline tour here played to a few hundred people a night, it is a clear step up.
The tour opens on Tuesday 26 January 2027, the Australia Day public holiday, at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide. It will be Beartooth's third visit to the 1928 hall in Torrensville, after August 2016 and June 2017, and their first there as sole headliners.
Adelaide has been on every Beartooth tour of Australia. Over the years the city has seen them at the HQ Complex, the Thebarton Theatre, The Governor Hindmarsh Hotel and the AEC Theatre, which makes it the most consistent stop on the band's map after Melbourne.
The Hordern Pavilion in Moore Park is Beartooth's Sydney home. They first played it in June 2017 on The Amity Affliction's tour, returned in July 2023 with Pierce the Veil, and come back on Saturday 30 January 2027 as headliners for the first time.
Sydney has also seen them at the Roundhouse at UNSW in 2015, the Big Top at Luna Park in 2016 and the Metro Theatre in 2019. The Saturday-night slot in 2027 is the only weekend date of the run apart from the Brisbane finale.
Brisbane closes the tour on Sunday 31 January 2027 at The Fortitude Music Hall, a new room for the band after The Triffid (2015 and 2019), the Eatons Hill Hotel (2016) and two outdoor nights at the Riverstage (2017 and 2023).
Perth fans are the ones left out this time. Beartooth played the YMCA HQ and Metropolis Fremantle in 2015, the Astor Theatre in 2016 and Metropolis Fremantle again in 2023, but no Western Australian show is listed for 2027. New Zealand has never had a Beartooth concert according to the archive, and no Auckland or Wellington date had been announced as of 9 October 2026.
Beartooth's recent Australian sets are fast and loud. In July 2023, with Pierce the Veil, they played 12 or 13 songs a night, opening with "Devastation" and "The Lines", moving through "Disease", "Sunshine!", "Bad Listener", "You Never Know" and "Might Love Myself", then closing with "Hated", "Riptide", "In Between", "The Past Is Dead" and "The Last Riff". "Body Bag" was played in Fremantle, Adelaide and Melbourne but dropped in Sydney and Brisbane.
As headliners in 2019 the set was longer, around 15 songs, and dug further back with "Beaten in Lips", "Aggressive", "Enemy", "Always Dead", "Manipulation" and "I Have a Problem", plus a drum solo. Across all the documented Australian shows, "In Between", "The Lines", "Body Bag" and "Hated" are the constants.
The 2027 set will be built around Pure Ecstasy; the Australian running order has not been published. Expect a full headline length, longer than the 2023 co-headline sets, with Fit For A King and Volumes on before.
Tickets for all four shows have been on sale since Friday 22 May 2026 through the official outlets and the venues' own box offices. The Thebarton Theatre, Festival Hall, the Hordern Pavilion and The Fortitude Music Hall are general-admission rooms for most rock shows, so check the ticket type and any age restriction before you buy.
There is no public Beartooth presale code to buy or share now. Codes, "guaranteed" tickets and screenshots offered on social media are not genuine. Mobile tickets are usually linked to the buyer's account, so a ticket bought from a stranger may not scan at the door; if a show sells out, use the official resale service only.
