Post-hardcore trailblazers Thrice return to Australia in 2026, bringing their powerful live show and new album Horizons/West. Fans will experience the new songs live for the very first time, alongside classic tracks from the band’s rich catalogue.
Steadfast and straightforward creative conviction has guided Thrice since they emerged in the late ’90s with a sound that combined hardcore grit and progressive ambition. They quickly became defining figures in the post-hardcore movement, with their seminal 2003 album The Artist in the Ambulance hailed in Rock Sound’s list of 25 Modern Classics and in NME’s “20 Emo Albums That Have Resolutely Stood the Test of Time.”
From the underground punk scene to major and influential indie labels, Thrice has created a deep catalogue of intense, meaningful, and emotionally driven albums. They continue to evolve while remaining a singular force, balancing urgency, atmosphere, and emotional resonance. For over two decades, the band has defied categorisation - turning restlessness into longevity, experimentation into anthems, and conviction into community.
The enduring Thrice line-up of Dustin Kensrue (vocals/guitar), Teppei Teranishi (guitar), Eddie Breckenridge (bass), and Riley Breckenridge (drums) has never lost connection with their diverse audience. Their legacy is best understood beyond Billboard charts or streaming numbers - through personal impact and the bonds forged across years. “It’s always amazing when people say the music got them through something difficult, or became the soundtrack to a pivotal moment in their lives,” notes Kensrue.
