THE RUBENS—Group Therapy Tour · Hobart · Nov 20, 2026

<p><strong>The Rubens</strong> are heading back on the road for their sixth studio album, <em>Group Therapy</em>, heading to 25+ cities across Australia in 2026/27, presented by <strong>triple j, Grow Yourself Up, Odeon and WME.</strong></p><p>It&#39;s the sound of a band going full circle. After experimenting with synths and autotune on 2024&#39;s SODA, Group Therapy sees The Rubens return to their roots - guitar-driven, recorded live in the room, and made with a mindset of getting it right the first time rather than fixing it later. Produced once again by <strong>Konstantin Kersting</strong> <strong>(Spacey Jane, DMAs, Genesis Owusu)</strong>, this time working alongside the band in person at their Camden studio, it&#39;s their most authentic record in years.</p><p>The album takes its name, in part, from lead singer Sam Margin&#39;s own journey through sobriety and therapy during the making of the record - and the idea that music, at its best, is a shared experience. &quot;How do people often experience music? Together,&quot; says keyboardist Elliott Margin. &quot;Live shows are our favourite part of being in a band. That&#39;s pretty much group therapy for us.&quot;</p><p>Fans have already had a taste of the record with singles <em>Goanna</em>, <em>Are You Getting High</em> and <em>Love Me America</em> - the latter a sprawling, guitar-driven love letter to America inspired by the band&#39;s earliest, wide-eyed trips to the US as a young band courted by major labels.</p><p>Following <strong>five studio albums</strong> that have <strong>each</strong> <strong>debuted in the ARIA Top 5</strong>, and singles like <em>Never Ever</em>, <em>Live in Life</em> and <em>Hoops</em> going <strong>triple-platinum</strong>, The Rubens&#39; Group Therapy Tour is the sound of a band, fifteen years in, still finding new things to say.</p><p><strong>Group Therapy is out worldwide on October 16th, 2026</strong></p><hr><p dir="ltr"><strong>General tickets on sale&nbsp;</strong>Wednesday 19 August, 10am</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Doors open</strong> 7pm<br><em>All times are subject to change</em></p><hr><p><span class="fr-video fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HcMXLI2Jt2E?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></p><hr><p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>ACKNOWLEDGEMENT</strong><br>We acknowledge and respect the Palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners of the skies, land, and water of Lutruwita.
