Gang of Youths Announce New Album Compañero, 2027 North American Tour
The Australian indie rock band previewed the record with “Benny’s Video,” a single inspired by Michael Haneke’s film, and announced a 19-date tour.
On Friday, Australian indie rock band Gang of Youths announced their fourth studio album, 'Compañero,' arriving March 12, 2027, alongside a North American tour beginning next spring.
Frontman David Le'aupepe said the band sought 'philosophical freedom,' moving away from personal confessions toward observing the world and exploring narratives through classic pop melodies.
Previewing the record, the group released the single 'Benny's Video,' inspired by Michael Haneke's 1992 film and pairing propulsive synths with an unsettling undercurrent.
Tickets for the 2027 tour go on sale Friday, November 20, at 10 a.m. local time, with an artist pre-sale beginning Wednesday, November 18.
The 19-date run kicks off March 17, 2027, in Boston, with stops across North America, including a Coachella slot, as the band embraces a musical shift.
