  "account": "Portugal. The Man are set to bring their Denali Tour to Australia in October 2026. The three-concert East Coast series will kick off on October 14 in Sydney at the Roundhouse, followed by performances in Melbourne on October 17 at the Forum and Brisbane on October 18 at Fortitude Music Hall. These shows come after the release of the band's tenth studio album, SHISH, in November 2025, featuring both new material and hits like \"Feel It Still,\" \"Modern Jesus,\" and \"Live in the Moment.\" Tickets go on general sale on August 21 at 12 p.m. local time, with a Mastercard presale and artist presale running from August 19 and 20, respectively. The tour marks the band's return to Australia following a global tour cycle for SHISH that has taken them across North America, the U.K., and Europe in 2026. SHISH, released in November 2025, explores themes of survival, connection, and rural life, drawing inspiration from the band's Alaskan roots. Written and recorded in Portland, Oregon, the record follows the group's decade-long career as a cult touring act, gaining mainstream recognition with their 2017 hit \"Feel It Still,\" which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy. The tour also emphasizes supporting local crews and workers in Australia.",
