The Chats Announce North American Headline Tour
(The Syndicate) On the heels of announcing Half Cut, their first new album in five years, Australia's irreverent punk trio The Chats have announced a 30-date North American headline tour kicking off April 7 in Berkeley, CA, and wrapping May 18 in West Hollywood, CA.
The extensive run will take the Sunshine Coast trio across the US and Canada, bringing their fast, loud and gloriously unfiltered live show to audiences on both sides of the border. Their third studio album, Half Cut, arrives March 5, 2027 via Virgin Music Group, ahead of the spring tour. Artist Presale begins today, November 4th at 12PM local time while Public Onsale begins November 6th at 10AM local.
The North American dates are part of an extensive year of touring that will also see The Chats return to the UK and Europe in September and October 2027, with stops in Helsinki, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Dublin, Manchester and three nights at London's Electric Ballroom, among others. Before the year is out, the band will also head out on a 17-date Australian tour this November and December, playing intimate venues across the country ahead of Half Cut's release.
The upcoming North American run follows a busy year for The Chats, including Coachella and a tour alongside punk legends Social Distortion and Descendents. Known for their relentless pace, razor-sharp humor and anything-goes approach to live performance, The Chats have built a reputation for shows that are as unpredictable as they are loud. The spring dates will give North American fans the chance to experience the next chapter of the band's live show following the arrival of Half Cut.
The band recently introduced Half Cut with "Off It," the album's opening track and first single, accompanied by a suitably chaotic music video. Their first full-length release since 2022's Get F***ed, the album was recorded at Los Angeles' Maple Sound Studio with Frenzal Rhomb's Jay Whalley and finds the trio broadening their musical approach without sacrificing the humor, sharp observations and breakneck punk rock that have defined their sound. Across its songs, Half Cut explores everything from hangovers and bad decisions to confrontation, reconciliation and rehabilitation, offering a slightly more reflective side of The Chats without losing their trademark irreverence.
