ETHEL CAIN ANNOUNCES ELLIOT & VINCENT (NZ) AS SPECIAL GUESTS ON THE WILLOUGHBY TUCKER FOREVER TOUR 

AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND FEBRUARY 2026 

Tour kicks off next month

Frontier Touring and Penny Drop are thrilled to confirm New Zealand two-piece Elliot & Vincent as special guests on Ethel Cain’s The Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour across Australia and New Zealand.

The eleven-date tour marks the return of Ethel Cain, the acclaimed creation of Florida-born multidisciplinary artist Hayden Anhedönia.

Kicking off next month in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, both Auckland, first Sydney and Brisbane along with the first two Melbourne shows are sold out. Final tickets for all other dates are available via frontiertouring.com/ethelcain. ​

Ethel Cain has spent 2025 taking The Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour across the USA, Canada, Europe, and the UK, drawing widespread critical acclaim and selling out venues around the world. Each performance has further cemented her reputation as one of the most arresting and visionary artists of her generation, with reviewers praising the tour’s emotional intensity and cinematic staging. As NME wrote, it is “a commanding, hypnotic performance… a slightly campy, spooky atmosphere brought to life with striking visuals and evocative staging,” capturing the immersive world Cain continues to build on stage. ​

Elliot ​ & Vincent – the Aotearoa duo whose striking sonic identity occupies the space between raw post punk and modern noir. Formed in Auckland, the pair craft intimate yet noisy, cinematic, inner-city songs shaped by a shared love of expansive, textured soundscapes and intense late-night rehearsals. With a raw, expressive performance style, the duo’s driving percussion, atmospheric guitar work and emotive vocals shift the songs all the way from figurative to literal. Having played shows as far afield as New York and London, they recently were the openers for the Pixies on their Australia / New Zealand tour. ​

In November Elliot & Vincent unleashed Love Montage, their debut four-track EP. Recorded in Auckland in an intensive three-day session, the self-produced work features four tracks — ‘To the Flesh,’ ‘Month of May,’ ‘Slowburner,’ and ‘Numb.

Elliot plays drums and sings. Vincent plays guitar.
