The Cribs return to Australia for the first time since 2018 this October

The Cribs tour
Words by Mixdown

The UK trio's first national Australian tour since 2018 covers four cities behind their ninth album, Selling a Vibe.

The Cribs are selling a vibe, and that vibe is coming to Australia. The UK indie trio are set to return in October 2026 for their first national tour since 2018, bringing their ninth album Selling A Vibe across four dates in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.

Catch up on all the latest news here.

Gary, Ryan and Ross Jarman spent the pandemic scattered across New York, Portland and Wakefield, and their 2020 album Night Network went without a tour. Selling A Vibe is their first record since the three of them were back in the same room, with the closing track ‘Brothers Won’t Break’ written during that period apart. The record leans into modern pop production without losing the raw, hook-driven sound they’ve had since their 2005 debut.

Sets across the October run will cover the new album alongside favourites from across their catalogue.

“It’s a true privilege to hear them performed with such gusto,” wrote Totalntertainment. “These songs have soundtracked so many nights across so many towns that they are now woven into the fabric of the UK music scene.”
