CANADIAN PUNK ROCKERS PUP ARE TOURING AUS IN AUGUST

Canadian punk-rock outfit PUP are returning down under for the first time since 2022. Headlining cities in Australia and New Zealand this August, the Toronto-based band will be celebrating the release of their fifth studio album Who Will Look After The Dogs, out 5 May 2025. 

Set to play crowd favourites from their catalogue of anthems including PUP (2014), The Dream Is Over (2016), Morbid Stuff (2019) and THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND (2022), they’ll also be performing new gems from their forthcoming album Who Will Look After The Dogs. Praised by Pitchfork for their “supremely hooky” sound, PUP’s energetic live shows continue to turn industry heads, with the Washington Post applauding their “raucous sets filled with singalong anthems”. 

New Zealand fans will get the chance to see them at the Tuning Fork in Auckland and Wellington’s San Fran, before they headline Australian cities including Brisbane’s Princess Theatre, Sydney’s Metro Theatre, Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre, Hindley St Music Hall in Adelaide and Perth’s Magnet House.

Their pummelling and cathartic fifth LP Who Will Look After The Dogs is a culmination of the band’s past decade of constant touring and their palpable, livewire chemistry. Excavating life’s relationships and deep thoughts, the 12-track album sees frontman Stefan Babcock at his most reflective and vulnerable.
