MELBOURNE, AU (6 AUGUST 2025): Platinum-selling American four-piece Rainbow Kitten Surprise today announce their first long-awaited Australian headline run, with three dates locked in for January/February 2026 in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.

Since stepping back into the spotlight with their critically acclaimed 2023 album LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX - their first in six years - Rainbow Kitten Surprise have continued to push sonic and emotional boundaries. Their live show has been praised as “a masterful display of live music — raw, unpredictable, and utterly unforgettable” (South Florida Insider), while new single “Dang” builds on that momentum, melding soaring guitar riffs with frontwoman Ela Melo’s undeniable vocal power.

With a global cult following built on magnetic, emotionally charged performances and deeply personal songwriting, Rainbow Kitten Surprise have spent the last year selling out over 100 headline dates - including three nights at Red Rocks and shows at Radio City Music Hall and the Hollywood Palladium. Having captivated crowds at major festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Austin City Limits, Rainbow Kitten Surprise continue to cement their place as a fearless, visionary force in alternative music.
