HEALTH will return to Australia in September 2026 for a run of headline shows that underline the band’s steady rise from cult Los Angeles trio to a reliable fixture on international festival bills. The tour begins in Brisbane on Friday 18 September before moving through Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart and Adelaide, concluding in Fremantle on Saturday 26 September.

Across two decades and six studio albums, HEALTH have refined a sound that places abrasive electronics alongside stark melody. Early releases established their interest in tension and texture, while more recent records have broadened the frame. 2023’s RAT WARS marked a new phase, and 2025’s CONFLICT DLC expanded on it, adding new material to a catalogue that already includes tracks such as “TEARS”, “Major Crimes” and “THE DRAIN”.

Their live reputation in Australia has strengthened over the past few years. After an almost entirely sold out headline run in 2024 and an appearance at Knotfest Australia in 2025, the band return with an audience that has grown familiar with their balance of industrial weight and pop instinct. Collaborations with artists ranging from Nine Inch Nails to Poppy and Lamb of God have further broadened their reach, as have tours alongside Nine Inch Nails and Sleep Token.

Joining them on all dates is Perturbator, whose 2025 album Age of Aquarius saw him extend his darksynth foundations into industrial and post-punk territory. Known for immersive live sets built on dense atmospherics and driving rhythm, Perturbator last headlined Australian shows in 2023 and returns with a catalogue that now spans six albums.

Completing the lineup is King Yosef, an artist who moves between industrial noise, hardcore and electronic production. Whether working on solo material or collaborating across scenes, King Yosef’s output reflects a willingness to blur genre boundaries, drawing together elements of metal, rap and experimental electronics.
