Australia's punk rock act The Living End is officially back with their first album in eight years, I Only Trust Rock n Roll, and they are heading out on the road with it.
The band has officially scheduled a tour to kick off in November 2025. The national tour will see the trio hit five different cities. They will be performing two full sets each night: one featuring hits and new material, and another entirely with their beloved 1998 debut album.
It is going to be a return that many fans might have been waiting for. The tour is expected to start a new chapter for the band. Moreover, it will feature a setlist that spans three decades of their music.
The Living End announced the latest tour via an official Instagram post, captioning:
"Cat is out the bag! Our new album I Only Trust Rock n Roll is coming out on Sept 26 and what better way to celebrate than to play some big ol' rock shows?! Tickets go on sale on Friday July 25 BUT if you pre-order the album you will gain early access to the pre-sale which goes live on Thursday July 24 at 10 am! Link in bio. I think you know what to do… 🔥"
The Living End was formed in Melbourne in the mid-1990s. They became a beloved name in the punk, rockabilly, and alternative rock scenes. Their 1998 self-titled debut delivered breakout tracks like "Prisoner of Society" and "Second Solution."
Despite a quiet stretch since their 2018 release Wunderbar, the trio, Chris Cheney (vocals, guitar), Scott Owen (bass), and Andy Strachan (drums), have reportedly remained active behind the scenes. With I Only Trust Rock n Roll, they are now officially back.
