Houston trio Waterparks are returning to Australia next year.
The Houston pop-rock trio will bring their ‘No No No No No’ tour to Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane next February, with UK alt-pop artist girli and rising Australian act Maple’s Pet Dinosaur joining them as special guests.
Kicking off at Melbourne’s Forum on February 14th, the five-date run will make its way through Adelaide’s The Gov, Perth’s Astor Theatre and Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, before wrapping up at Brisbane’s The Tivoli on February 21st. See the full dates below. Tickets for Waterparks’ 2027 Australian tour go on sale to the general public at 11am (local) on Friday, October 23rd, following a Destroy All Lines presale from 12pm (AEDT) on Thursday, October 22nd.
The tour comes in support of the band’s latest album, JINX, released through BMG. The record includes “TELL ME WHY”, a collaboration featuring Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, Danny Elfman and more.
Made up of frontman Awsten Knight, guitarist Geoff Wigington and drummer Otto Wood, Waterparks have spent the past decade building a dedicated following, releasing six studio albums and racking up more than one billion streams along the way. They’ve also shared the stage with My Chemical Romance on a sold-out arena tour. Australian fans are no strangers to the band, who first made their way Down Under in 2018 supporting The Maine, before returning later that year for Good Things festival.
Their first Australian headline tour followed in 2023, off the back of their fifth studio album, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The run sold out across the country, with demand in Melbourne prompting an upgrade from 170 Russell to the Forum.
Joining them this time around is British singer-songwriter girli, who last toured Australia in 2024 in support of her second album, Matriarchy. Known for her unapologetic approach to pop, her music tackles everything from beauty standards and sexuality to mental health and politics.

Also on the bill is Maple’s Pet Dinosaur, who has quickly emerged as one of Australia’s most talked-about young acts. She first caught attention last year when the music video for her debut single “lego”, filmed entirely on a Ring doorbell camera, went viral. Since then, she’s made an appearance at SXSW Sydney for just her third-ever live show and became the youngest artist to perform at Good Things festival, sharing a stage with the likes of Tool and Weezer.
