JOEY VALENCE & BRAE
Australia + New Zealand Tour April 2026
JUST ANNOUNCED: Pop up show in Wollongong the night before Sydney’s sold out Enmore Theatre!
Due to popular demand, second shows in Melbourne and Brisbane are now on sale! First Melbourne and Brisbane shows SOLD OUT!
Handsome Tours, Astral People, triple j & Laneway Presents are pleased to present Joey Valence & Brae!
It’s true – youth doesn’t last forever… but Joey Valence & Brae have unofficially bottled it. From State College, Pennsylvania, this hyper-creative duo holds the keys to a perpetual fountain of energy, enthusiasm and relentless sonic invention that feels like an open invitation to dance.
In 2025, JVB made their long-awaited Australia and Aotearoa debut, smashing through two sold-out headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne and commanding the crowd at Laneway Festival with an electrifying blend of bangers that had fans losing their minds.
2026 tells a very similar story, as JVB return to Australia and New Zealand with their biggest shows yet, bringing their boldest statement to date – their new album HYPERYOUTH. Released late last year and produced, mixed, and mastered entirely by Valence in his State College, PA bedroom studio-meets-Pokémon shrine, the record is a masterclass in evolution and identity. It carries all the hallmarks of JVB’s signature sound – sample-rich layers, boisterous raps, booty-popping bars and EDM-infused grooves – but deeper, sharper and more thoughtful. Featuring heavy-hitting collaborators like JPEGMAFIA, Rebecca Black and TiaCorine, HYPERYOUTH isn’t just an album – it’s a manifesto about growing up without getting old, about preserving that reckless joy even as you’re becoming who you really are.
It feels like just yesterday that Joey Valence & Brae exploded out of the underground and onto the global stage with a sound that combined nostalgic boom-bap energy and hardcore punk bravado with Gen-Z hip-hop flamboyance, all wrapped in nerdcore wit and maximalist production. Their breakthrough single, “PUNK TACTICS”, didn’t just go viral, echoing across TikTok and tastemaker playlists – it became an anthem that surfaced in unexpected places across the landscape of pop culture, most recently appearing in a major Street Fighter teaser.
Architects of joyful chaos and curators of an unrestrained energy, Joey Valence & Brae create music that spans generations, cultural scenes and dance floors, with a sound that feels like every wild, carefree moment you’ve ever lived – anthemic, uproarious and unapologetically fun.
JVB invite you into a world where excitement is a language and movement is mandatory. Don’t miss their return to Australia and New Zealand.
