Last Dinosaurs are bringing their Wellness era back to life, announcing a 10-year anniversary tour that includes a Newcastle stop at the King Street Bandroom this June.
The beloved Australian indie outfit will revisit their celebrated second album with a newly reimagined version titled WELLNXSS, set for release on February 13 via Nettwerk.
The project offers fans a refreshed take on the record that helped define the band’s early evolution and cemented their place in the country’s indie landscape.
Last Dinosaurs rose to national prominence in the 2010s as part of Brisbane’s wave of rising guitar-driven indie acts, building a reputation for euphoric melodies, shimmering synth work and rhythm sections tailored for escapism.
Their catalogue, stretching across five studio albums, has long resonated with Australian and international audiences, who continue to connect with their blend of dreamlike soundscapes and propulsive hooks.
The band sees the anniversary as both a celebration and a moment of reflection. Revisiting Wellness has allowed them to re-examine the album’s legacy and the creative risks that shaped their trajectory.
What began as a challenging follow-up to their debut ultimately pushed the group to embrace a more hands-on approach to recording, sparking the DIY ethos that helped define the albums that followed.
That evolution has taken Last Dinosaurs to some of the world’s biggest stages, with performances at Lollapalooza, Corona Capital, All Things Go Festival and others, as well as supports for artists including Florence + The Machine, Foals and Foster The People.
With more than 29 million streams in 2025 alone, their global fanbase continues to grow, proving the enduring impact of albums like Wellness.
Last Dinosaurs will bring their 10-year Wellness anniversary tour to Newcastle on Thursday, 25 June at King Street Bandroom, supported by Bad Suns. Tickets are on sale now, with full details available via lastdinosaurs.com.
