La Dispute steer their No One Was Driving The Car Tour towards Perth

Following the release of their fifth studio album, Michigan post-hardcore band La Dispute are set to bring their No One Was Driving The Car Tour of Australia and New Zealand to the Astor Theatre on Friday, October 16.

The Perth leg kicks off the tour with other dates also set across the country, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

La Dispute’s album No One Was Driving The Car comes six years after their previous release, Panorama. Partly inspired by the 2017 psychological thriller First Reformed, No One Was Driving The Car reckons with malaise in the shadow of the looming apocalypse, which has noticeably been worsened by the advancement of tech.

In 14 dynamic tracks, the band grapples with the existential topic and the human need to find comfort and a sense of security in an existence where we’re often thrust into chaos without permission.

“As much as I don’t enjoy the creative process because it’s taxing and often not fun, I also think it’s the most fun that I ever have,” lead singer Jordan Dreyer contemplates. “It’s the revelations you make, the breakthroughs. It’s banging your head against a wall, and suddenly something clicks in a way that feels almost divine, like it came from somewhere else.”

La Dispute hit Astor Theatre on Friday, October 16, 2026. Tickets are on sale now from premier.ticketek.com.au
