**WINDWAKER
'smile, you're on camera' Australian Tour 2026**
Australia's genre-bending **Windwaker** are thrilled to announce their 'smile, you're on camera' Australian headline tour for October/November where they'll be joined by special guests and first time visitors **The Pretty Wild** (US), as well as **RinRin** and **DREGG**.

*"We are so excited to bring our new album to life on stages all around Australia," *says Windwaker vocalist **Liam Guinane**. *"We've poured so much into this record, and we can't wait to play these songs live for the very first time. We're also so stoked to be bringing out The Pretty Wild for their Australian debut, along with a couple of our favourite Aussie artists. We hope to see you all there."*

The tour will begin just a week after the release of *smile, you're on camera*, a record that stands as the soundtrack to Windwaker's journey since ***HYPERVIOLENCE***. Described as their most honest release yet, *smile, you're on camera* sees Windwaker channel the challenges and triumphs of the past few years.

The band teased this new chapter with *&ldquo;****victory lap****&rdquo;* and* &ldquo;****click****&rdquo; *(with RinRin), heightening anticipation for what's to come. Co-written in Los Angeles with the band and **Daniel Braunstein** (Spiritbox, Dayseeker), new single *&ldquo;closer&rdquo; *opens with strobe-flashes of neon synths and a hypnotic drumbeat, giving way to open-hearted melodies. The crunch of power chords ignites a chantable chorus, with a crushing breakdown - in true Windwaker style - that caps it all off. Watch the video here.

Joining Windwaker on their Australian headline tour are Las Vegas sisters The Pretty Wild, bringing their unpredictable mix of metal, hard rock and electronics to Australian audiences for the very first time. Their audacious spirit creates an electrifying force that defies convention. The Pretty Wild captivates audiences hungry for something different, singing of disillusionment, the struggles of the industry, and the pursuit of authenticity beyond social constructs.

*'click."* collaborator RinRin also joins the bill. Fusing hyperpop with alt-pop, alt-metal and pop punk, the Filipino-born, Australian-based artist has carved out a lane entirely her own. Since emerging in 2020, RinRin has shared stages with The Plot In You, Scene Queen, Caskets, and The Home Team, while also joining Walk Off The Earth for a six-city arena tour across China.

Opening all shows except Perth are fellow Melburnians and Fearless Records labelmates DREGG. Known for their high-energy fusion of metal, hardcore and rap, their music, visuals, and over-the-top personas serve as a satirical lens on modern culture. Blending shock value with deeper commentary, DREGG encourages fans to embrace their inner weirdos and challenge societal norms through unapologetic self-expression.
