The Brisbane indie favourites have hit the road with a fresh setlist packed with new material, and plenty of dancefloor moments.
After years of building one of Australia‘s most reliable live reputations, The Jungle Giants are back on the road for their biggest headline run in years.
The band’s Experiencing Feelings of Joy tour officially launched at Castlemaine’s Theatre Royal before rolling into a sold-out night at Melbourne’s Forum on June 6, where fans got their first proper taste of the group’s new era live.
Blending fresh material from their 2026 album with the indie-dance staples that helped define the band’s career, the set balanced nostalgia with forward momentum.
Opening the night was Melbourne indie-pop outfit DIVEBAR YOUTH, who have been joining the tour on select dates.
Frontman Sam Hales and company wasted no time introducing the new record, opening with recent single ‘Tell Me How It Feels’ before moving through a set packed with crowd favourites including ‘She’s a Riot’, ‘Love Signs’ and the inevitable encore pairing of ‘Feel the Way I Do’ and ‘Heavy Hearted’.
If you’re heading along to one of the remaining dates, this is what you can expect.
