Emo pioneers Hawthorne Heights return to New Zealand in April 2026 as part of their global Lonely World Tour, celebrating 20 years of their influential 2006 album If Only You Were Lonely.

The band will perform the album in full, alongside a selection of fan favourites spanning their two-decade career. Since its release, If Only You Were Lonely has become a defining record of the 2000s emo and post-hardcore movement, featuring enduring anthems including “Saying Sorry,” “Pens and Needles,” and “This Is Who We Are.”

This anniversary tour offers fans a rare opportunity to experience the album live in an intimate, high-energy concert setting.

Tickets and VIP Packages are available now via Waxstar Touring
