The Automatic World Tour heads Down Under in January
Frontier Touring announces the return of beloved American folk-rockers and two-time Grammy nominees The Lumineers, bringing their hugely anticipated Automatic World Tour to Australia and New Zealand in January 2026. Renowned for their soul-stirring live shows and emotive songwriting, The Lumineers will perform in Christchurch, Auckland, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, and Perth –their first visit since 2022’s sold-out run.
Presales start on Thursday, August 14th at 11 am local time ahead of the general sale on Friday, August 15th at noon.
Captivating audiences around the globe with their rich instrumentation, raw lyricism, and undeniable chemistry, the duo will deliver some of the most unforgettable performances this summer. Currently on tour in North America and having already lit up sold-out arenas with rapturously received shows across Europe and the UK, the news follows the release of the band’s acclaimed fifth studio album, Automatic, out now via Dualtone.
A stunning evolution in both sound and sentiment, Automatic is The Lumineers’ first collection of new music in three years. Upon release in February 2025, it debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on Top Rock Albums, Americana/Folk Albums, and Independent Albums. Fans’ first taste came in the form of lead single “Same Old Song,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay chart – the pair’s eighth song to reach the top spot.
