Australian garage rock trio The Grogans are officially set to hit the road with a 2026 regional Australian and New Zealand tour. The run was announced after the release of their fifth studio album, Stagger. The band's upcoming tour will see them perform 21 shows across both countries.

The Grogans were formed by Melbourne-based schoolmates Quin Grunden (vocals and guitar), Angus Vasic (guitar), and Jordan Lewis (drums) in 2016. Their debut studio album, Just What You Want, was released in October 2019. The project was reportedly written and recorded within one week in Torquay, Victoria.

The Grogans announced the upcoming AU/NZ run via an official Instagram post, which read:

"AUS/NZ Regional run with special guests @bean.magazine See ya at a town near you through Jan-March! Tickets on-sale now via link in bio 🫶"

Just What You Want was also the first record to be issued under The Grogans' manager Will Stoeckel's independent label, Cousin Will. The album included early fan favorites and helped solidify their reputation as one of Melbourne’s most exciting new acts. The band has released four more albums so far: Day / To / Day (2020), Which Way Is Out (2022), Find Me a Cloud (2023), and Stagger (2025).
