The used have announced their biggest Australian tour to date, undertaking a massive three-week concert series and 15 dates in capital cities from mid-August to early September 2025. The tour celebrates the band’s 25th anniversary, with stays of three nights in each city each devotes a reading of their first three albums: the eponymous debut album from 2002, its sequel from 2004 In love and death and their 2007 album Lies for liars. A detail of the full tour itinerary can be found below.

“These first three records put The Used on the map,” frontman Bert McCracken said in a press release announcing the tour. “I can’t wait to experience the joy of playing all three records from cover to cover. I know it will be an incredible time. Jeph Howard – the band’s bassist and co-founder, alongside McCracken – added: “We feel extremely lucky and honored to have been part of something much bigger than ourselves for the last 25 years. To everyone who has been here since the beginning or just starting your journey with us: thank you.
