Borderline performed a cool In My Room session to celebrate their inclusion in our Future of Music series.
Borderline have enjoyed a whirlwind six months, winning big at the 2026 Aotearoa Music Awards, touring all over, including Australia and New Zealand, and releasing their highly anticipated self-titled debut album.
Out in June via EMPIRE, their debut is “something we’re all incredibly proud of,” the Kiwi band said when the record was first announced. “It’s the sum of every single corner of musical inspiration from all four of us,” they added.
Borderline are currently in the midst of the Australian leg of their album tour, with shows remaining in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne over the coming days (see full dates below).
We recently caught up with the band for an in-depth interview, in which they looked ahead to their current tour.
“I think this is the first tour where our shows will be shows and not gigs,” guitarist and vocalist Ben Glanfield told us. “We love touring as well, like we did a month in the States [last year], and somehow we came back missing each other, so we were straight back into hanging out and practising and writing.”
“The New Zealand and Australia shows are going to be really special,” vocalist and drummer Jackson Boswell added. “We haven’t played in our hometown in a wee while, so that’ll be great. The UK and Europe [tour] are going to be an absolute blast. It’s a massive, massive year of touring, but it’s going to be fun.”
