Handsome Tours, Select Music & Double J are proud to present The Beths!Fresh off the release of their brand-new album Straight Line Was A Lie New Zealand’s critically acclaimed quartet The Beths are set to return to Australia in April 2026 with their biggest headline shows yet. The tour marks the band’s first Australian shows since their sold-out 2025 run, and sees Elizabeth Stokes, Jonathan Pearce, Benjamin Sinclair, and Tristan Deck stepping onto some of the country’s most iconic stages.
Existential vertigo is at the heart of their fourth record, Straight Line Was A Lie, the band’s first on ANTI-. Across ten tracks, songwriter Elizabeth Stokes explores roundabout progress, mental health battles, and fraught family ties with lyrics that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Written in Los Angeles and self-recorded in their hometown of Auckland, the album is The Beths’ most vulnerable and revealing body of work to date. Singles like ‘Metal’, ‘No Joy’, and ‘Mother Pray For Me’ dive into the weight of cyclical growth, while the title track ‘Straight Line Was A Lie’ threads it all together with brutal honesty.
