Land ho! In March 2026, The Dirty Three are crossing the ocean to embark on what will be an immensely-anticipated North American tour. These shows will be the trio’s first in the U.S. since 2012, following the release of their celebrated album, Love Changes Everything, last year. Their impassioned live performances stir up a volcanic force each time: plunging into an explosive free fall in one moment, then morphing into a divine pool of emotions in an effortless flow. Like witnessing any supernatural phenomenon, it's an overwhelming experience that stays with you.

The Dirty Three — Warren Ellis, Mick Turner and Jim White— came together in 1992 in Melbourne, a frenzied storm of guitar, drums, and violin or viola that would go on to captivate the planet and their staggering list of collaborators. In the past few years alone, Warren’s been the subject of a documentary (Ellis Park, about the wildlife sanctuary he co-founded in Indonesia), Mick has conjured more duo magic with Helen Franzmann as Mess Esque (2024’s Jay Marie, Comfort Me), and Jim has ventured into a burgeoning solo career of his own (most recently, last month’s Inner Day). Love Changes Everything, released in June of 2024, broke a 12-year wait for new Dirty Three — to the delight of us all! Now’s only fitting for Warren, Mick and Jim to get the ship up and running again.

Climb aboard, and don’t miss the boat! Tickets go on sale Friday, November 7 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time.
