Highly Suspect have just announced they’re headed back to New Zealand - jumping onto the Live at the Domain 2026 line-up. 

The Highly Suspect lads have been added to the bill alongside Good Charlotte, Yellowcard and Tadpole for a one-off show at Auckland Domain on February 27, 2026.

Since blowing up with ‘Lydia’ and ‘My Name Is Human,’ Highly Suspect have gone from underground heroes to international headliners, with a special place in their hearts for New Zealand. The feeling's mutual.

They’ll be in fine company too. Tadpole are taking the stage with powerhouse vocalist Lauren Marshall, and if their set is anything like it was at Rock 2000 Live, it’s gonna be a ripper. 

It’ll also mark Good Charlotte’s first shows in New Zealand in eight years, and Yellowcard are set to bring enough nostalgia to power every high school playlist from the early 2000s.

“You joined us for Highly Suspect last year, now imagine that energy, multiplied,” an official email from endeavour read. 

Westie Lee caught up with Highly Suspect’s Johnny Stevens and Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden today (November 10), and the two can’t wait to head to NZ.

"There's something special about bands deciding to do something together and just doing it," Joel said.

"The fact that Highly Suspect said yes they’re coming… this means so much to us. I’m f**king stoked... We’re coming here to do something special, and we wanna make it as special as we possibly can," he continued.

Johnny chimed in saying, "I’m coming to hang out with some friends… there will also be some guitars involved."

How good.

Early bird tickets have already been snapped up, but second release tickets are on sale now. 

We’re bloody excited for this one.
