Lauri admits it\u2019s been far too long, but promises the three-date run will be \u201cthe highlight of my year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the past two decades, the band has kept in touch with their Australian fanbase through social media. Now, those fans will finally get to experience The Rasmus live. Lauri says this isn\u2019t just a one-off trip, with their new label Better Noise Music opening the door to future visits and festival appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on 30 years together, Lauri explains how friendship has kept the band alive through lineup changes and changing trends. The addition of guitarist Empu three years ago gave the group fresh energy, helping shape their latest, heavier, guitar-driven record. Fans can expect plenty of new songs from the album, alongside classics like No Fear and In the Shadows, plus some rarities from their early days.<\/p>\n<p>The Rasmus are also planning a powerful visual show, tying in the imagery and themes from their music videos across the decades. For Lauri, it\u2019s not just about playing the hits, but giving fans a full experience that celebrates their journey from teenage outsiders to international rock survivors.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation also touches on Eurovision, Lauri\u2019s personal songwriting-including a ballad written for his son-and the band\u2019s outsider identity that continues to resonate with audiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Rasmus \u2013 Touring Australia January 2026<\/strong><br \/>Fri, Jan 30: The Triffid, Brisbane<br \/>Sat, Jan 31: Manning Bar, Sydney<br \/>Sun, Feb 1: Max Watts, Melbourne<\/p>\n<p>Tickets from<br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thephoenix.au\">thephoenix.au<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded\" id=\"like-post-wrapper-61768451-195388-68d5e09ef0d99\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/?ver=15.0.2#blog_id=61768451&amp;post_id=195388&amp;origin=www.noise11.com&amp;obj_id=61768451-195388-68d5e09ef0d99\" data-name=\"like-post-frame-61768451-195388-68d5e09ef0d99\" data-title=\"Like or Reblog\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"sd-text-color\"\/><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sd-link-color\"\/><\/div>\n<p class=\"post_tags\">Tagged as:<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.noise11.com\/tag\/australia-tour-2026\" rel=\"tag\">Australia Tour 2026<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.noise11.com\/tag\/better-noise-music\" rel=\"tag\">Better Noise Music<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.noise11.com\/tag\/finnish-rock\" rel=\"tag\">Finnish Rock<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.noise11.com\/tag\/in-the-shadows\" rel=\"tag\">In The Shadows<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.noise11.com\/tag\/lauri-ylonen\" rel=\"tag\">Lauri Yl\u00f6nen<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.noise11.com\/tag\/noise11-3\" rel=\"tag\">Noise11<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.noise11.com\/tag\/paul-cashmere-interview\" rel=\"tag\">Paul Cashmere Interview<\/a>,<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.noise11.com\/tag\/the-rasmus\" rel=\"tag\">The Rasmus<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/static.ak.connect.facebook.com\/js\/api_lib\/v0.4\/FeatureLoader.js.php\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.noise11.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lauri Yl\u00f6nen of The Rasmus joins Paul Cashmere of Noise11.com for an exclusive interview ahead of the band\u2019s long-awaited first visit to Australia in January 2026.
