Purity Ring return to Australia

April 13, 2026

Ten years is a long time to wait. But Canadian synth-pop duo Purity Ring are finally making their return to Australian shores, and it’s shaping up to be worth every second.

Megan James and Corin Roddick are locking in a run of east coast headline shows this June, touching down in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney, plus a very special appearance at Hobart’s iconic Dark Mofo festival. For anyone who caught them last time around, you already know how special these shows are. For everyone who missed out – this is your moment.

Purity Ring’s live show has always been something otherworldly: immersive, visually arresting, and built around the duo’s singular ability to make electronic music feel deeply, almost uncomfortably, human. Expect the upcoming shows to pull from across their entire catalogue, with a heavy focus on their most ambitious work to date their 2025 self-titled record.

That album was written as a soundtrack to an imagined role-playing game, drawing on the digital textures of 90s and 2000s sound design, while vocalist Megan wove in her personal experience of becoming a full-time caregiver to a newly disabled loved one – channelling those realities into a vision of a better world. It is their most complete and expansive statement yet.

Arriving just ahead of the tour is brand new single lemonlime. Written as the very first piece of material during the self-titled album sessions, it arrives now as the final release from that era – carrying a strange circularity, like a closing loop that still feels unresolved. It’s the perfect reintroduction to a band who have never stopped evolving.
