The run marks their return to Australia after almost three years away, and the demand suggests the time off has only sharpened interest.<\/p>\n<p>The tour takes place across January and February, bringing the duo\u2019s understated, harmony-led songwriting back to rooms designed for listening. With Byron Bay\u2019s first date gone, a second show has been added at The Northern on Saturday January 31, offering a final chance to catch them in the coastal town. Remaining tickets for Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne are limited.<\/p>\n<p>Ocie Elliott\u2019s rise has been gradual rather than sudden. Across albums\u00a0<em>We Fall In<\/em>\u00a0(2019) and\u00a0<em>In That Room<\/em>\u00a0(2020), followed by the\u00a0<em>We Know The Night<\/em>\u00a0EP in 2023, the duo have refined a sound built on restraint, clear melodic lines and shared vocal space. Recent singles\u00a0<em>These Days<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Adelina<\/em>\u00a0and new track\u00a0<em>Feeling Fine<\/em>\u00a0continue that trajectory, focusing on movement, absence and the emotional residue of touring life.<\/p>\n<p>Joining the tour as national support is\u00a0<strong>Garrett Kato<\/strong>, whose songwriting and production style sits comfortably alongside Ocie Elliott\u2019s approach. It\u2019s a pairing that leans into intimacy rather than scale, prioritising connection over spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>With several dates already at capacity and others close behind, the 2026 tour reads as a clear snapshot of where Ocie Elliott now sit in Australia: a band whose quiet consistency has translated into sold-out rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Go HERE for ticketing information.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"279909\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.backseatmafia.com\/news-ocie-elliott-return-to-australia-after-three-year-gap\/image0-2-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?fit=1500%2C1500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image0 (2)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?fit=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?resize=70%2C70&amp;ssl=1 70w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?resize=335%2C335&amp;ssl=1 335w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?resize=360%2C360&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image0-2.jpeg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded\" id=\"like-post-wrapper-81918055-279907-696b92c58df93\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/?ver=15.4#blog_id=81918055&amp;post_id=279907&amp;origin=www.backseatmafia.com&amp;obj_id=81918055-279907-696b92c58df93\" data-name=\"like-post-frame-81918055-279907-696b92c58df93\" data-title=\"Like or Reblog\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"sd-text-color\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;appId=249643311490&version=v2.3\"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>#Ocie #Elliott #Return #Australia #ThreeYear #Gap #Backseat #Mafia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian folk duo\u00a0Ocie Elliott\u00a0are seeing their Australian audience grow in real time, with Byron Bay, Newcastle and Barwon Heads now sold out ahead of their 2026 national tour.
