Self-proclaimed pioneers of 'Y2KCORE', Oxford four-piece South Arcade have announced their first ever Australian headline tour this August, bringing their pumped up mix of nostalgic pop-rock and sassy alt-punk to fans across the East Coast.

The announcement follows a meteoric 12 months for the band, who have rapidly become one of the UK's most talked-about breakout acts. Fresh from a massive summer of festivals in Europe, including appearances at Download Festival, TRNSMT, Rock For People and more, South Arcade are riding the wave of momentum. Australian audiences got their first taste at Good Things Festival last December, where their packed-out performances stole the hearts of thousands.

Now they're back for their biggest Australian shows to date, kicking things off at The Croxton in Melbourne on Thursday 20 August, The Triffid in Brisbane on Friday 21 August, before wrapping up at Manning Bar in Sydney on Sunday 23 August.

South Arcade have been steadily drip-feeding new music, with latest single "DEADMEAT" dropping just last week, following on from "SUPERMAN" which was released in April and became the band’s biggest streaming debut to date with over 1.5 million streams on Spotify alone.

A band that is conquering all areas of the industry, they have over 180 million global streams, and a social following of over 2.2 million fans across socials. The band recently announced their biggest headline show to date, playing the iconic O2 Academy Brixton in London on 25 February 2027, marking a huge milestone in their already incredibly impressive career.

Establishing themselves with EPs PLAY! and 2005, both championed relentlessly by Radio 1 across multiple shows, South Arcade have made the kind of noise that's impossible to ignore. With standout cuts "FEAR OF HEIGHTS," "Supermodels", and "Drive Myself Home" turning heads, they're taking over the alternative scene and the loudest chapters are still to come…
