Balu Brigada

Handsome Tours & Laneway Presents are thrilled to present alt-pop duo Balu Brigada on their Portal Australia Tour.  
  
The national tour takes place this coming May and June, and includes stops in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth,  in support of their acclaimed debut album Portal.  
  
A sweeping, emotional, and sonically adventurous collection of songs, Portal finds brothers Henry and Pierre Beasley pushing their boundaries and cementing their place as one of the most vital new voices in alternative pop. The album includes breakout singles ‘So Cold’, ‘Backseat’, and the existential pop anthem ‘What Do We Ever Really Know?’ - each one offering a glimpse into the band’s evolving sound and introspective lyricism.  
  
The album was built over three years across cities like New York, Berlin, and their native Auckland, with each place leaving a unique sonic fingerprint. From the heavy, grungy textures of the NYC sessions to the serene, introspective energy of their roots in NZ, the duo curated a sound that blends indie rock urgency with alt-pop finesse and festival-sized ambition.  
  
Their single ‘So Cold’, has soared with over 65 million global streams, a #1 spot on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, and a late-night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!. The track’s success, including a placement on EA Sports' FC 25 soundtrack,  marked a major breakthrough for the duo, earning them the title of Billboard’s Chartbreaker for April 2025.
