See Ocean Alley in The Domain Sydney on their Love Balloon Australian Tour!

Globally renowned Australian rockers Ocean Alley are thrilled to announce their biggest Australian headline shows to date, taking place this Summer in support of their upcoming fifth album Love Balloon. They’ll be joined by special guests Nothing But Thieves, Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Ruby Fields.

With a reputation for their magnetic live performances, and a catalogue that’s now surpassed 1 billion streams, Ocean Alley have proven themselves as one of Australia’s most influential contemporary bands.

After selling out their last local headline run in 2023/2024, Ocean Alley will take their fifth album Love Balloon - set for release on 19 September - on the road in early 2026 for five massive shows around the country.
