Northern Beaches surf-rockers Ocean Alley drop their fifth album and announce a massive Australian tour for 2026.
Sydney's beloved psych-rock outfit Ocean Alley have done it again. Their fifth studio album, 'Love Balloon', has landed, and it's everything fans have come to expect from the Northern Beaches legends – dreamy guitar tones, infectious grooves, and that unmistakable laid-back energy.
The Album
'Love Balloon' sees Ocean Alley continuing to evolve while staying true to their roots. The band has refined their signature blend of psychedelic rock, reggae influences, and indie sensibilities into something that feels both fresh and familiar. It's the perfect soundtrack for summer road trips and beach bonfires.
From Triple J to the World
Since their breakout with "Confidence" – which topped Triple J's Hottest 100 in 2018 – Ocean Alley have become one of Australia's most consistent live draws. Their ability to translate studio magic into explosive live performances has earned them a devoted following that spans generations.
2026 National Tour
To celebrate the new album, the band is hitting the road for a comprehensive Australian and New Zealand tour. Expect extended jams, deep cuts for the diehards, and plenty of new material from 'Love Balloon'.
Catch Them Live
Tour dates span major cities and regional venues alike – Ocean Alley have always been about bringing the music to the people, not just the capital cities.
Grab your mates, grab your tickets, and get ready to float.
