With over 250 million combined streams, Australian pop sensations Cub Sport announce they’ll be hitting the road for a headline UK tour in spring 2023.
The Brisbane group continue to soar with their glossy alternative pop, showing zero signs of slowing down with their propulsive new house single “Replay” – stream here. The track transmutes the band’s trademark warmth and empathy into a piece of glassy, gorgeous dance music.
Marking 3 years since their last tour of the UK–which involved a sold out stint at London’s iconic Scala–fans might say it’s long overdue that Cub Sport make a return to our stages… Now the wait is finally over, next April/May will see the band kick off their new UK tour in Glasgow before heading to Manchester, Bristol and finishing off at London’s pristine Lafayette. Full list of shows below.
“We’re so happy to be coming back to the UK for these shows! We’ve got so much exciting stuff planned and can’t wait to be back with our beautiful UK fans. See you all soon!“ – Cub Sport.
Since the release of their acclaimed fourth record ‘LIKE NIRVANA’, Cub Sport have been working towards their next project, unveiling the effervescent “Always Got The Love” and the trancey “Replay” in the process – tracks you can expect to hear live for the first time next year.
29th April – Poetry Club, Glasgow
30th April – Deaf Institute, Manchester
1st May – Louisiana, Bristol

There are few trajectories in Australian music more remarkable than that of Cub Sport. Since they emerged as a promising young indie band in the early-2010s, the Meanjin (Brisbane) four-piece, comprised of Tim Nelson, Sam Netterfield, Zoe Davis and Dan Puusaari, have become known for their powerful, must-see live show and their ardent fanbase, as well as ARIA Platinum-and Gold-certified singles like “Come On Mess Me Up”, “Chasin” and “Sometimes”.
Boasting over 250 million streams and an ARIA #2 album to their name (2020’s Like Nirvana, #1 Vinyl Sales chart, #1 Australian Albums chart) Cub Sport have achieved some of the highest possible honours in Australian music, performing at the 2020 AFL Grand Final and placing in triple j’s Hottest 100 five times. Their music, which is self-produced and blends pop classicism with experimental and electronic elements, has been praised by the likes of The Guardian, BBC Radio 1, Rolling Stone, Billboard, i-D, Vice, Gay Times, The FADER and countless others.
Tim Nelson has also just been nominated for his first Grammy - for his contribution to Baynk's album 'Adolescence' (Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical). Tim engineered, co-wrote and featured on the track 'Mine feat. Cub Sport'.
