Florida pop-punk lifers New Found Glory are already plotting their return to Australia… and it sounds like they’re gunning to make it happen sooner rather than later.
In an exclusive chat with Music Feeds about the release of their brand new album Listen Up!, drummer Cyrus Bolooki revealed the band are actively working behind the scenes to lock in their next Aussie run… and he’s not being subtle about it.
New Found Glory – ‘A Love Song’
“I’m so excited to come back to Australia! We’re already trying to work on it,” Bolooki told us. “My manager hates me because in every conversation – it could be a conversation about a random thing, about a promo picture we’re going to use for something, whatever it is – I’m always like, ‘Great. When are we going back to Australia?’”
Honestly? Respect.
The scene icons were only last down under pretty recently for Good Things Festival 2025, a visit that clearly reignited their love affair with Aussie crowds. But if Bolooki gets his way, the next trip won’t be a quick in-and-out festival stop – it’ll be something much bigger (and longer).
“For years, people have been asking us to come back,” he said. “We have a couple of big, big fans over there – Glenn, I’m talking about you if you see this. But we have a couple of big Australian fans who have actually travelled to America to see us because they knew it would be easier to see us there than down under.”
That dedication has not gone unnoticed – and the band want to repay it properly.
“We wanted to come back, and obviously Good Things last year was a great, great vehicle for us to do that. I hope that we get some future performances on Good Things as well,” Bolooki added. “But I would love to do a club tour, anything! I’d like to spend a little more time than just four or five days in the country.”
He also singled out one very specific mission for the next visit: “I’d like to get back to Perth and do a proper Australian run again. So hopefully soon!”
The timing makes plenty of sense. New Found Glory are currently celebrating the release of their 11th studio album Listen Up! – a record shaped by resilience, friendship and the band’s nearly three decades at the forefront of pop-punk. With new music in the world and momentum firmly on their side, the appetite for a full-scale Aussie tour feels very real.
Nothing official has been announced just yet – but if Bolooki keeps pestering his manager at the current rate… it should only be a matter of time.
