Borderline are hitting the road for an Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand tour.
In their home country, Borderline will play shows in Auckland, Hamilton, Christchurch, Tauranga, and Rotorua in July. They’ll then cross the ditch for shows in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne in the same month (see full dates below).
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday, May 14th at 2pm local time. The Live Nation pre-sale begins on Wednesday, May 13th at 1pm local time.
Borderline’s tour news follows last week’s announcement of their highly anticipated debut album.
The self-titled record will arrive on June 26th via EMPIRE, and will feature recent singles “Terrify”, “Tainted”, and “Watching It Burn”.
“We are beyond excited to take the album out on the road,” Borderline share. “Ever since we first wrote these songs we’ve been imagining playing them live, and really can’t wait for people to experience it in person.
“There’s so many fun moments in the show that we hope people will love, and we’re really happy to be touring it for the first time at home here in New Zealand and then over to Australia – it feels very special to us.”

The band’s latest drop, “That Girl”, also features on the album tracklist (listen below).
“‘That Girl’ leans so hard into our love of ‘80s over the top instrumentation,” Borderline explained. “It’s littered with live vintage synths, sounds, and Michael Jackson / Prince inspired vocals. We are all so proud of how this song came together in the studio. The result of four musicians not shying away from self-indulgence.
“‘That Girl’ is a great representation of our musicianship, and what happens when we let loose a bit on our instruments and just have fun.”
Before their album drops in June, Borderline will find out if they’ve won big at the 2026 Aotearoa Music Awards this month. They’re nominated for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Best Pop Artist, with the latter category featuring genre superstars Lorde and BENEE.
