Taylor Acorn – the newly crowned queen of pop-punk – is officially heading back to Australia in 2026, armed with her acclaimed new album Poster Child and a live show that could emotionally devastate a small village. In a good way.
Fresh off dropping her glowing, heart-puncher of an album on October 24, the Nashville powerhouse will hit our shores next March for a four-date run with American alt-pop-rock charmers Arrows in Action in tow.

The tour kicks off on Sunday 1 March in Melbourne, before ricocheting through Brisbane and Adelaide, and wrapping things up on Friday 6 March in Sydney – giving Aussie fans a full week to cry, scream, jump, and probably reconsider several major life decisions.
Taylor Acorn’s rise has been fast, and somehow still feels criminally overdue. A genuine pop-punk prodigy raised on the late-’90s/early-’00s holy trinity of “big hooks, bigger feelings, and a questionable side-fringe,” she cut her teeth performing as a teen before relocating from Northern Pennsylvania to Nashville in 2014.
There, she linked up with producer Dan Swank (All Time Low, Cassadee Pope), refining a sound that fuses Avril Lavigne’s emotional bite with Paramore’s fire, before mutating it into her own irresistibly earnest signature.
After dropping her debut full-length Survival In Motion in 2024 and spending nearly a decade as an indie hustler, Taylor signed with Fearless Records in 2025. That partnership birthed her latest album Poster Child, a raw, hook-stacked, heart-on-sleeve knockout that has already earned worldwide praise.
Joining her for this fresh Aussie tour are Arrows in Action, the Florida-born trio who’ve mastered the art of blending indie rock charm with clean alt-pop production and soft-emo vulnerability. Their 2023 debut Built To Last put them on the map, while 2025’s I Think I’ve Been Here Before cemented their place as one of the most exciting modern-alt acts to emerge in years.
Longtime fans will also know this is a reunion tour of sorts – the band teamed up with Taylor in 2021 on the aching sleeper hit ‘Uncomfortably Numb’.
Peep all the details down below.
