Globetrotting local four piece, The Beths are thrilled to announce their return home playing seven shows throughout Aotearoa next March in celebration of their recently released fourth album Straight Line Was A Lie.
Released in August this year, Straight Line Was A Lie is the first album released via American label ANTI- , debuting at #1 on the Aotearoa Album Chart and receiving glowing reviews from press around the world.
Last night, The Beths made their late night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! performing Straight Line Was A Lie’s standout opening title track, praised by Stereogum as a “total slam dunk of an opener.”
This performance gives a taste of what to expect on the band’s homecoming tour which kicks off at Meow Nui in Wellington with two nights on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 of March 2026. The band then head south to Dunedin playing Glenroy Auditorium on Friday 20 March, James Hay in Christchurch on Sunday 22 March and Theatre Royal in Nelson on Monday 23 March. The tour wraps up at the iconic Powerstation in Auckland with two shows on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 March. Tickets for all shows go on presale Monday 3 November at 8am and general sale Wednesday 5 November at 8am NZDT.

These shows come on the back of three solid months of touring the world, which kicked off last month in Europe. The North American leg begins this week and includes some of their biggest venues to date in the U.S., including The Wiltern in Los Angeles, The Fillmore in San Francisco, The Salt Shed in Chicago, Brooklyn Paramount in New York City, Union Transfer in Philadelphia, 9:30 Club in Washington, DC and more.
