Picture This 2026 Australian tour: Presale, dates, venues, and more explored

Irish pop-rock group Picture This have officially announced their return to Australia with a headline tour. The run has been set for May 2026. The announcement comes as the band is currently in the country to support British singer Tom Grennan and perform at SXSW Sydney.

Picture This are known for hits such as Take My Hand, Addicted To You, and Unconditional. The band will headline concerts in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. It is going to be their first standalone Australian run in multiple years.

Picture This began their journey in 2015 when Ryan Hennessy recorded an iPhone video of his song Take My Hand. The video went viral and gained over four million views. It caught the attention of drummer Jimmy Rainsford, who later reached out to collaborate.

Picture This took to their official Instagram page to announce the upcoming 2026 AU tour, captioning:

"AUSTRALIA 2026! We are buzzing to be coming back down under for some headline shows next year. Tickets on sale Monday at 12 pm local time and presale access in our bio now! ❤️☘️🇦🇺"

Picture This' debut performance in Dublin reportedly sold out in under 30 minutes. It caused a venue upgrade from the Grand Social to the 850-capacity Academy, which they also sold out. The band is one of Ireland's most successful live acts. They have headlined multiple arena tours, including five sold-out nights at Dublin's 3Arena.
