Balu Brigada announce Portal Australian Tour

New Zealand indie alt-pop duo Balu Brigada are bringing their live show back to Australia in support of their acclaimed debut album, Portal.

Their national tour arrives in Western Australia for a show at Freo.Social on Sunday, May 31.

A sweeping, emotional, and sonically adventurous collection of songs, Portal finds brothers Henry and Pierre Beasley pushing their boundaries and establishing their place as bold new voices in alternative pop. The album includes breakout singles So Cold, Backseat, and the existential pop anthem What Do We Ever Really Know?, with each offering a glimpse into the band’s evolving sound and introspective lyricism.

Their single So Cold has soared with over 65 million global streams, a #1 spot on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, and a late-night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel, earning them the title of Billboard’s Chartbreaker for April 2025.

Recently featured among SiriusXM’s Future Five of 2025 and Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Artists To Watch, Balu Brigada also spent the summer of 2024 opening for Twenty One Pilots on the global Clancy World Tour, gaining new fans across stadiums and arenas in North America, Europe, and Australia.

Balu Brigada hit Freo.Social on Sunday, May 31, 2026. Tickets are on sale from Thursday, February 5, at moshtix.com
