The Temper Trap Return to the Road Behind Sungazer With 2026 Tour Dates

The Temper Trap are stepping fully back into view this year, and the timing makes the shape of it all feel pretty clear.

With their long-awaited fourth studio album Sungazer set for release on July 10, 2026, the Australian indie-rock band have mapped out a run of 2026 live dates that mixes festival appearances, select headline club shows, and a major support stretch opening for Muse on The Wow Signal Tour. For fans looking for more The Temper Trap tour dates and ticket information, Concert Addicts also has additional artist event listings and upcoming show details.

That context matters, because this is not just a random batch of tour dates. It feels like a deliberate re-entry. The Temper Trap have been mostly absent as a recording band since 2016’s Thick as Thieves, and after their hiatus, Sungazer now arrives as both a return and a reset. The band have described the album as the purest collection of music they have made, shaped by time apart, personal growth, and a renewed closeness in both their creative work and friendships. That kind of perspective tends to show up in the music, especially with a band whose best songs have always carried both lift and ache at the same time.

The early live routing reflects that balance between scale and intimacy. Supporting Muse puts The Temper Trap back in front of massive crowds across North America, while headlining stops in places like Cleveland, Asheville, Houston, Vancouver, and Los Angeles give them room to reconnect with their own audience more directly. There is something smart about that combination. It lets them reassert their place as a big-stage band while still giving fans a chance to see them in rooms where the emotional texture of songs like “Sweet Disposition” and whatever new favourites emerge from Sungazer can really settle in.

And for a band like The Temper Trap, that emotional texture has always been the point. Their songs do not just coast on atmosphere. At their best, they hit with that particular kind of yearning that feels both massive and intimate, the kind of sound built for festival skies but also for personal memory. If Sungazer captures that feeling again, this run could mark a meaningful second chapter rather than a simple comeback lap.
