Icelandic favourites, Of Monsters and Men return to Australia for The Mouse Parade Tour in May 2026. Marking over six years since their last visit to Australia, the band also celebrate their first full-length project in six years, All is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade.   

From Reykjavík to the global stage, Of Monsters and Men (OMAM) first captured the world’s attention with their 2011 debut My Head Is an Animal, transforming from Icelandic indie favourites into a band known and loved worldwide. 

Breakout single ‘Little Talks’ became a generational anthem with over a billion Spotify streams. Reaching #2 on the Triple J Hottest 100 in 2012, the track’s success led to a 2013 Saturday Night Live debut. Their follow-up, Beneath the Skin (2015), debuted Top 3 on the Billboard 200 and included a surprise cameo on HBO’s Game of Thrones.  Over the past 15 years, OMAM have continuously explored, evolved, and built a world of music defined by growth and imagination - from the cinematic expansiveness of Beneath the Skin to the dreamlike textures of Fever Dream (2019). 

After pursuing solo and side projects, the band reunited with All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade, released at the end of 2025 - a tapestry of stories, moments, and conversations, the album explores how love and pain intertwine. Feelings that might seem at odds with each other but co-exist simultaneously and need one another. The album marks a new chapter in a career defined by growth, exploration, and a commitment to making music that reflects who they are today. 

Experience the emotion-driven set and expert musicianship as Of Monsters and Men bring these special live shows to Australia for the first time in six years, with special guest Gordi – The Mouse Parade Tour is not to be missed.
