It’s been more than six years since Of Monsters and Men last visited us here in Australia, but the wait is officially over. The Icelandic indie faves have announced their return this May for The Mouse Parade Tour, marking both their long-awaited comeback down under and the arrival of their first full-length project in six years, dubbed All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade.
The band will kick things off at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Sunday 17 May before heading to Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Tuesday 19 May, Anita’s Theatre in Thirroul on Wednesday 20 May, and wrapping things up at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Friday 22 May.
Of Monsters and Men – ‘Ordinary Creature’
It marks their first Australian run since 2019 – and a proper reintroduction to a band entering a new creative chapter after several years spent pursuing solo and side projects.
This tour doubles as the live debut of All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade, which the band will perform in full for Australian audiences for the very first time. The record arrives as a fresh evolution for the group, continuing a career defined by constant reinvention, from the explosive global breakout of My Head Is an Animal to the sweeping intensity of Beneath the Skin and the dreamy textures of Fever Dream.
Alongside the new material, fans can expect plenty of the songs that helped turn the Reykjavík outfit into global indie mainstays – including the generational juggernaut Little Talks, which famously clocked over a billion streams and landed at #2 in the Triple J Hottest 100 back in 2012.
Joining the band across all Australian dates is Gordi, who previously toured with Of Monsters and Men on their 2016 Australian visit. The acclaimed Australian indie-pop artist has continued to build a deeply respected catalogue over the past decade, and arrives fresh from new music in 2026 – making this reunion a fitting full-circle moment.
