Today, conceptual band
La Dispute
announce their
No One Was Driving the Car
Australian headline tour, which will be hitting our shores October 2026.
La Dispute
will be promoting their latest album
No One Was Driving The Car,
released in September of 2025 via
Epitaph Records
.
The headline tour sees
La Dispute
kick it off at the Astor Theatre in Perth on October 16, then over to Victoria at Singing Bird in Frankston on October 18 and 170 Russell in
Melbourne on October 19. The band head to The Gov in Adelaide on October 21, Liberty
Hall in Sydney on October 23, King Street in Newcastle on October 24, finishing off in
Brisbane at The Tivoli on October 25. All shows are all ages except for Melbourne which is
18+, and Perth which is Licensed All Ages, patrons under 18 can attend with a parent/guardian over 18. Guests on the tour are Meanjin/ Brisbane four piece
Special Features

Full details below.
Six out of the seven shows in Australia are all ages / licensed all ages, harping back to the roots of La Dispute, as vocalist Jordan Dreyer explains;
"All of us were underage when we first started going to local shows at home in West
Michigan, and still when attending them pushed us to start writing music together and playing our own. Without venues that were accessible to us, both as attendees and
performers, the entire endeavour might’ve died on the vine, and we’d have lost out not only on an important creative outlet as young people, but a welcoming community too.
Understanding that possibility, it’s been a priority always to keep our doors open to all comers where possible, so that anyone—including (or especially, really) younger people— have the same opportunities afforded to us at a crucial age."
It’s been six years since
La Dispute
released their last album,
Panorama
. Since then, the Michigan post-hardcore band—made up of Jordan Dreyer on vocals, Brad Vander Lugt on drums, Chad Morgan-Sterenberg and Corey Stroffolino on guitar, and Adam Vass on bass
—dealt with the stagnance of the pandemic, celebrated the ten-year anniversaries of
Wildlife
and
Rooms Of The House
, and began working on
No One Was Driving The Car
.
The fifth studio LP is the first entirely produced by the group, and it came together in Grand Rapids and Detroit, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Philippines: “I think the change in environment was really helpful to breathing new life into the process each time we came back to it,” Dreyer says.
Self produced and heavily inspired by the 2017 psychological thriller
First Reformed
,
No
One Was Driving The Car
grapples with malaise in the shadow of the looming apocalypse, which has noticeably been worsened by the advancement of tech. The title comes from a
quote from a police officer vocalist Jordan Dreyer read in a news article about a lethal selfdriving Tesla crash, an absurd event which raises questions about the amount of control we have in our own lives.
Dryer expands
“it felt apt as metaphor then (increasingly so since), not just for contemporary life generally, but for so many responses to it: how each of us thrust
unwillingly and chaotically alive, to hurtle down some road toward death, look amidst uncertainty for faith someone or something outside ourselves helps steer the
way.”
Throughout the album, screens and cameras disrupt moments of transcendence. It happens alongside flashes of mundane suffering—frequent daydreams of drowning,
flashbacks to eye-contact with dead animals, experiences of decaying relationships and secondhand suicides—while Dreyer yells with a more primal sense and sings in a more refined way, and the guitars have a sharper edge than ever before.
