Good Charlotte are heading to Bendigo with massive supports

The tour marks the band's first Australian shows in eight years.

Get ready Girls & Boys – Good Charlotte are back down under ready to unleash their anthems on our audiences, including a special regional event in Bendigo.

Across February 2026, Good Charlotte will launch their Motel Du Cap World Tour in Australia, taking to Perth’s RAC Arena on Tuesday 17 February, followed by Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Thursday 19 February, Bendigo Racecourse (as supported by Visit Victoria) on Saturday 21 February and finishing up at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday 25 February. They will then jump over the Tasman to take on Auckland Domain on Friday 27 February.

Good Charlotte Motel Du Cap World Tour

Touring in support of their recently released eighth studio album, Motel Du Cap, Good Charlotte will be bringing with them their fiery new songs along with their many hits including ‘The Anthem’, ‘Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous’, ‘I Just Wanna Live’, ‘I Don’t Wanna Be In Love (Dance Floor Anthem)’, ‘Girls & Boy’, and so many more from their near three decade career.

Joel Madden says of the band’s long-awaited return to Australia, “Australia is such a special place to Good Charlotte and to me personally, it feels like a home away from home in many ways, and we can’t wait to head back there for some big shows. It’s been far too long since we’ve spent time with our Aussie fans, we’re all in for a big treat.”

Along for the ride, they have enlisted punk pop friends Yellowcard, and Kisschasy. Yellowcard were just in Australia’s orbit earlier this year to celebrate 20 years of their seminal LP, Ocean Avenue, and last week they continued to grow their catalogue with their long-awaited, Travis Barker-produced new album, Better Days. Kisschasy, too join the new release register, having dropped their first singles in 16 years, ‘Lie To Me’ and ‘Parasite’, in May and August, respectively, continuing their streak of flavourful rock.
