Canadian punk-rock outfit PUP are returning down under for the first time since 2022. Headlining cities
in Australia and New Zealand this August, the Toronto-based band will be celebrating the release of
their fifth studio album Who Will Look After The Dogs, out 5 May 2025.
Set to play crowd favourites from their catalogue of anthems including PUP (2014), The Dream Is Over
(2016), Morbid Stuff (2019) and THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND (2022), theyβll also be performing
new gems from their forthcoming album Who Will Look After The Dogs. Praised by Pitchfork for their
βsupremely hookyβ sound, PUPβs energetic live shows continue to turn industry heads, with the
Washington Post applauding their βraucous sets filled with singalong anthemsβ.
New Zealand fans will get the chance to see them at the Tuning Fork in Auckland and Wellingtonβs
San Fran, before they headline Australian cities including Brisbaneβs Princess Theatre, Sydneyβs Metro
Theatre, Melbourneβs Northcote Theatre, Hindley St Music Hall in Adelaide and Perthβs Magnet
House.
Their pummelling and cathartic fifth LP Who Will Look After The Dogs is a culmination of the bandβs
past decade of constant touring and their palpable, livewire chemistry. Excavating lifeβs relationships
and deep thoughts, the 12-track album sees frontman Stefan Babcock at his most reflective and
vulnerable.
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, the loveably dysfunctional four piece are made up of best friends Stefan
Babcock, Steve Sladkowski, Zack Mykula and Nestor Chumak.
Abbreviated for Pathetic Use of Potential,
PUPβs sound thrives in self deprecation and creative chaos. Named as one of 2014βs break out rock acts
by Rolling Stone, the band continued to climb the ranks with their 2016 album The Dream Is Over recognised as one of the best album releases by NME and Kerrang! Their 2019 record Morbid Stuff earned them a spot in best of lists for the year in Rolling Stone, NME and The Guardian and also landed
in Guitar Worldβs βBest Albumsβ List for their 2019.
With renowned festival slots under their belt including Lollapalooza, South By Southwest, Reading and
Leeds Festival, Vans Warped Tour and more, PUP have also gone on to support some of the biggest
names in punk-rock including Sum 41, The Hives and Jimmy Eat World.
Set to amplify Australian and New Zealand stages following their 2022 tour, PUP are ready bring their
radically lovable sound to fans down under.
