Orange County post-hardcore trailblazers Saosin will return to Australia in April 2026 for a national headline tour, celebrating 20 years of their iconic self-titled album - playing the album in full as well as the hits.

Saosin quickly emerged as a powerful voice in the post-hardcore and alternative rock scenes, gaining immediate underground acclaim from the get-go. Following a shift in vocalists, Cove Reber joined the band and fronted their breakout self-titled album in 2005, which featured genre-defining tracks like "Voices" and "You’re Not Alone". The album's success propelled Saosin into mainstream recognition, earning them a dedicated global fanbase and cementing their status as one of the most influential bands of their era.
Saosin were first noticed by New Zealand fans at the Taste of Chaos tour at St James in 2006 alongside acts Taking Back Sunday, Underoath, Anti-Flag, Thursday and Senses Fail. They continued to come back to these shores in 2010 with Bless the Fall for one Auckland show
Now, 20 years on they’ll perform their self-titled album in full across New Zealand alongside their biggest hits next April.
Since reuniting with vocalist Cove Reber in 2024, Saosin has reignited the fervent energy that defined their most influential years. With Reber back at the helm, Saosin is redefining their future. The chemistry among the original lineup has sparked creative momentum, leading to new material, revitalized performances, and expanded vision. The band is once again a driving force in post-hardcore, proving that while time may pass, authenticity and connection endure. This chapter in Saosin’s journey is both a homecoming and a launching point for what’s next.

Supporting Saosin on this special run is Senses Fail, These guys are also no strangers to New Zealand having been here for the Taste of Chaos tour in 2006.. The band have been called any number of things across their near 25 years as a band – emo, screamo, post-hardcore, metalcore, pop punk. It’s testament to the band’s perpetual evolution as much as it is their steely endurance – a quality which frontman Buddy Nielsen has required bottomless reserves of along the ride. It’s through the songs of Senses Fail that Nielsen has forever made sense of and peace with life’s highs and lows; a journey that began in the leafy suburbs of Ridgewood, New Jersey with the iconic Gold-selling debut album Let It Enfold You, and which has since seen Senses Fail become one of rock music’s most cherished, celebrated names.

Bringing together two giants of their genre, don't miss Saosin and Senses Fail do what they do best - tickets available Thursday 26th February 2026 at 8am local time via Goodvibes Promotions
