Caroline Rose (USA)
Handsome Tours are proud to present Caroline Rose making her Australian debut this November! The announcement comes in anticipation of their new album Gentling The Horse At The Walt Whitman Mall, out October 23.
Caroline will take on The Lansdowne Hotel in Sydney, and Smith St Hotel in Melbourne, following an expansive run supporting Modest Mouse in North America.
Australian audiences will experience the new album live for the first time, as Caroline Rose brings their new tracks to life – including the album’s singles ‘Chow Mein’, fan favourite ‘Yip Yip Yow’, and ‘Calm’ / ‘Hello Again, Jim’ both released today – across two intimate Australian solo shows this November.
Caroline Rose will release Gentling The Horse At The Walt Whitman Mall on October 23, marking the debut release on their own SUCK records label. Working with producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Explosions in the Sky, Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen), Rose built the album through humour, layering, and instinct rather than polish. It pairs sharply observed, memoiristic songwriting with expansive guitar textures that render the everyday with violent clarity and mythic scale. The songs draw from ordinary situations and push them into exaggerated, sometimes unsettling territory, creating a portrait of contemporary American life through humour, discomfort and absurdity.
Caroline Rose has built a career defined by reinvention, razor-sharp wit, and a fiercely independent presence. Blending psychobilly, pop, shoegaze, alt-country, folk, electronic, and rock music, they move fluidly between sonic worlds while maintaining a singular artistic voice. Their albums The Art of Forgetting (2023), Superstar (2020), Loner (2018), I Will Not Be Afraid (2014) and America Religious (2012) have featured in a slew of Best Albums and Songs lists across NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, Bandcamp, with further support from KCRW, Nylon, Uncut, a performance on Late Night With Seth Meyers and across radio locally including FBi Radio, triple j, Double J, RTR FM, Triple R, PBS and many others.
CAROLINE ROSE AUSTRALIA TOUR 2026
Thu 26 Nov – Lansdowne Hotel, Sydney
Fri 27 Nov – Smith St Hotel, Melbourne

Jacoténe Australia Headline Tour
JACOTÉNÉ announces her first-ever headline tour of Australia this November, marking a major milestone in a breakout year that's seen the Melbourne-born, London-based singer-songwriter land an ARIA nomination for Why'd You Do That? and a nomination for the ELLE Next Generation Award for Music.
“This is a really full-circle moment for me,” says JACOTÉNÉ. “I get to bring the show I've been building overseas back to Australia and do it as my own headline run for the first time. I can't wait to be in a room with everyone and sing these songs together.”
JACOTÉNÉ's sound draws on soul, alt-R&B and jazz, shaped by a childhood spent singing in church choirs and the influence of artists like Lauryn Hill and Amy Winehouse. Backed by her band, this live show will carry a rawness and presence that studio recordings only hint at.
The tour will hit Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, giving Australian audiences their first chance to see her headline a stage of her own. Tickets on sale now.
