After nearly a decade away, American pop-punk icons Good Charlotte are making their long-awaited return to Australia in 2026, and Sydney fans are in for a night to remember. The band will take the stage at Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday, 25 February, as part of their global Motel Du Cap World Tour, which marks the beginning of an exciting new era for the legendary group.

Celebrating the release of their upcoming eighth studio album, Motel Du Cap, the tour promises to bring the band’s signature energy and emotion back to the live stage. Fans can expect an electric setlist featuring their most loved anthems, including Lifestyles of the Rich & the Famous, The Anthem, I Just Wanna Live, and Dance Floor Anthem, alongside new music inspired by the band’s renewed creative fire.

Supporting Good Charlotte on tour are pop-punk favourites Yellowcard, known for their violin-driven classic Ocean Avenue, and Australian rockers Kisschasy, whose hits Do-Do’s and Whoa-Oh’s and Opinions Won’t Keep You Warm at Night became anthems for a generation. Together, the lineup promises a high-energy celebration of the music that shaped the 2000s alternative rock scene.

With Qudos Bank Arena set to come alive with thousands of fans singing every word, Sydney’s February calendar just got louder- and a lot more exciting.
