Australia, brace yourselves for a fresh serving of Hot Milk.
The euphoric Manchester alt-rock duo have announced a three-date Australian headline tour this May, bringing their famously chaotic live show to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane – imarking their first-ever headline show in Queensland.
Hot Milk – ‘The American Machine’
Fronted by the incendiary pairing of Hannah Mee and Jim Shaw, Hot Milk return Down Under following their explosive 2023 debut visit, where they tore through headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne before hitting arenas around the country supporting Foo Fighters.
Since forming after meeting in a Manchester bar back in 2016 (as many great bands do), Hot Milk have steadily evolved from cult favourites into one of the UK’s most exciting modern rock exports. Across a run of EPs – Are You Feeling Alive?, I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I’M DEAD and The King And Queen Of Gasoline – the band built a fiercely loyal following before dropping their debut album A Call To The Void in 2023.
More recently they’ve kept the momentum rolling with their 2025 release Corporation P.O.P, while stacking up major tours and festival appearances across the UK, Europe and the US.
It’s already been a busy year for the duo, who kicked off 2026 with their first-ever performance in India at Lollapalooza Mumbai, before wrapping a run of European headline dates. Next stops include Japan and Spain’s Mad Cool Festival – but first, they’re heading back to Australia to cause a little trouble.
Joining them across all shows will be Melbourne alt-rock firebrands Bad/Love, whose emotionally charged riffs and genre-bending sound have quickly made them one of the most exciting names in Australia’s heavy scene.
