An iconic American metal band has announced their first-ever Australian tour in 2026. Love/Hate, a cult favorite in the heavy metal scene, will be performing in Australia in January to celebrate their 1990 debut album, “Blackout in a Red Room.” Led by founding member Jizzy Pearl, the band will kick off their tour in Melbourne before heading to Sydney and Brisbane.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1985, Love/Hate was known for blending metal, glam, and ‘sleaze’ rock. Their debut album, “Blackout in a Red Room,” gained them a following but didn’t break into the mainstream charts. Despite lineup changes over the years, Jizzy remains the sole original member and has kept the Love/Hate legacy alive.
With live renditions of their classic tracks from the debut album, fans in Australia can expect a nostalgic experience from Love/Hate. The band’s unique sound and influence on the metal genre have solidified their place in music history, making this tour a highly anticipated event for metal enthusiasts Down Under.
Jizzy Pearl, reflecting on the band’s journey, expressed that Love/Hate is essentially him now, with other original members having moved on from music. The band’s music has continued to resonate with fans through various projects and performances, showcasing the enduring legacy of Love/Hate in the heavy metal scene.
For fans eager to catch Love/Hate in action, tickets for the Australian tour are now available for booking at select venues in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. This tour marks a significant milestone for the band as they bring their iconic sound to Australian audiences for the first time, promising an unforgettable experience for metal fans across the country.
