Incubus have just announced their 2018 Australian tour

For the first time since they played Soundwave back in 2015, Incubus are making their way to Australia – in fact, their first headline shows in twice as long.

With their eighth album on the way, they’ll be bringing the new singles from their eighth album, 8, along for the ride. The album dropped earlier this year, and their trips to our shores have tended to go hand-in-hand with their album releases, with their last visit back in 2012 following the 2011 release of If Not Now, When?

The break between their seventh and eighth records was the biggest in Incubus’ history, the delays due in part to its production by Dave Sardy being re-produced and mixed by the band’s good mate Skrillex, and the record debuted at #4 on the Billboard chart.

After a few years off for Incubus singer Brandon Boyd, the band took to live TV earlier this year to play ‘State Of The Art’ for Conan O’Brien and his audience, although some fans felt he sounded a little rusty.

His moving performance in tribute to Chris Cornell back in May, however, was an incredible moment.

The pre-sale starts at 10am Tuesday October 24, with general sale tickets available from 10am Wednesday October 25 – check out the full dates below, along with their recent single ‘Nimble Bastard’.
