[MUSIC NEWS] FUN LOVIN’ CRIMINALS Announce Australian Tour
The kings of New York cool are returning Down Under. After 15 years, FUN LOVIN’ CRIMINALS are back with their seventh studio album A Matter of Time, and they’re bringing their signature blend of gritty rock, hip-hop, and cinematic soul back to Australian shores in March 2026.
For three decades, the FUN LOVIN’ CRIMINALS have been one of the most electrifying live acts on the planet. Best known for the multi-platinum hits ‘Scooby Snacks,’ ‘King of New York,’ and ‘Love Unlimited,’ the band has spent the last few years revitalized, performing over 150 shows across the globe. Now, it’s Australia’s turn to experience the new chapter.
Conceived by founding member/producer Brian ‘Fast’ Leiser and drummer Frank Benbini, A Matter of Time marks a bold return to the band’s roots. Mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Tim Latham, the new record stays true to the “this here song” philosophy that has earned the band a massive cult following since the 90s.
“Our fans have been wanting to hear new music from us for years,” says drummer Frank Benbini.
“We have a renewed creative freedom… Fun Lovin’ Criminals are not going anywhere—except on tour.”
This tour is your first chance in over a decade to hear their new material live alongside the classic deep cuts that built their cult following.
