Following a sold-out rampage across Australia last November – and currently tearing through a riotous world tour in support of their new album, viagr aboys – Swedish post-punkers Viagra Boys announce their live return in January, including the band’s first visit to Aotearoa with the infinite anxiety tour of 2026: australia and new zealand.
Led by the gravel-throated, gleefully unfiltered Sebastian Murphy, six-piece V**gra Boys are one of the world’s most unmissable bands, a reputation earned through relentless international touring – including a recent set at Coachella, where they kicked off their current world tour (watch here) – and chaotic headline shows that blend satire, sleaze, and saxophone.
After dissecting a world ruled by terminally-online conspiracy theorists on 2022’s Cave World, fourth album viagr aboys paces through the crude grimy places where they themselves fit in the nonsense. One of the V**gra Boys’ greatest strengths is their ability to tear down everything and nothing at the same time. Murphy and his compatriots will build a charred groove, pick out surreal bursts of imagery to perfectly gouge at the sheen of societal normalcy, and then remind you that you’re probably wrong to trust their judgment.
Touching down in January 2026, the post-punkers will hit Auckland’s Powerstation in a long-overdue debut NZ performance on Thursday 15 January, before embarking on a run of their biggest Australian venues to date: Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Fremantle.
Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday 16 May (1pm local time) via frontiertouring.com/vboys. Frontier and Penny Drop members can access early presale tickets via promoter presales, starting Thursday 15 May (11am local time).
Renowned for their explosive live energy and razor-sharp wit, on lead single and album opener ‘Man Made of Meat’ Murphy taunts your mum’s OnlyFans and hopes to score some free women's sweaters from LL Bean. And as the album evolves, Viagra Boys work through churning post-punk, post-apocalyptic dub, and skronking rock while denouncing “smoking crypto” and detailing a journey “stealing Poseidon’s trident from the Navy SEALs.” Through it all, the band looks out at the endless expanse of Walmarts and crystal healers, searching for some twisted solace: “the important part of being alive in the big, stupid world is figuring out the world inside of you that is equally big and stupid.’’
Viagra Boys. January 2026. It’s gonna get weird. Don’t miss out!
