Australia’s indie-dance royalty, The Jungle Giants, are set to make a triumphant return to the UK and Ireland this summer with the announcement of a brand-new tour. Known for their infectious hooks and high-energy performances, the Brisbane-based quartet has built a loyal international following - buy tickets here. 

January saw the band tease their upcoming fifth studio album with the single ‘Hold My Hand’. In 2024, frontman Sam Hales was thrown headfirst into a phase of self-discovery following the end of a decadelong relationship and a jet-ski accident requiring surgery and two months of recovery. Searching for something that felt real in a period of numbness, ‘Hold My Hand’ was the first time he was able to surface for a breath of air and punctuate an old chapter of his life.  

With The Jungle Giants’ fifth album arriving in 2026, Hales is more emotionally grounded than he has ever been. Hales has spent the past few years traveling the globe with his bandmates, playing major festivals and meeting fans from all over, but the place he needed to settle in for the new album was internal. The Jungle Giants’ genre-agnostic sound has taken a memento from everywhere they’ve been, resulting in a pluralism of alternative pop, dance, rock and experimentalism all informed by the experiences that brought them here.  

ABOUT THE JUNGLE GIANTS: 

In their almost decade and a half of existence, Australia’s The Jungle Giants have traveled to all corners of the globe for inspiration, but never had the time to sit still and look within themselves. Life has a tricky way of working and will stop you in your tracks when you need it the most, even if that moment seems to disrupt your perception of reality. Out of a year of life-altering heartbreak, and a jet-ski accident requiring surgery and two months of recovery, frontman Sam Hales from The Jungle Giants reemerges hopeful and emotionally grounded. From this was born the band's upcoming fifth studio album. 

The crux of the album is its first single ‘Hold My Hand.’ Hales describes the circumstances it was written within as, “It was just love changing. It wasn't love being lost. It was about the hope of what is to come.” The rest of the LP follows suit allowing for self-discovery to have the driver’s seat for the first time.  

Built up by Sam Hales (vocalist/ guitarist/ songwriter/ producer), lead guitarist Cesira Aitken, bassist Andrew Dooris and drummer Keelan Bijker, The Jungle Giants have pocketed nearly a billion streams worldwide, have a #1 ARIA-charting album, and toured in front of adoring fans globally. Grateful and centered, the upcoming album zooms in on the matters of the heart.
