Mistletone and Triple R proudly present CASS MCCOMBS, returning to Australia with his band after almost 10 years, with special guest to be announced.
Over the past twenty plus years, Cass McCombs has journeyed a singular path as an uncompromising song-carver, guitarist and singer.
Along with the finest squadron of collaborators and bandmates, his music travels gracefully over seemingly contradictory terrain, from infectious guitar riffage to intensely personal lyricism.
In August 2025, Cass released his newest album Interior Live Oak to rave reviews including 5 stars from the Guardian, an 8.1 from Pitchfork who said “16 songs and not a throwaway among them” a 9/10 from Uncut Magazine, and a rave from Mojo magazine, who said “this is the kind of record it’s impossible to be casual about.”
Interior Live Oak is Cass’s most personal album to date, and, more than any previous record, shows his vast range as a lyricist and musician. It draws from everything Cass has created over two decades of experimentation to cut through with a direct and clarifying light.
Cass recently shared new music with Interior Live Oak co-producer Chris Cohen, spotlighting the two artists’ distinct yet deeply intertwined creative chemistry, forged over nearly two decades of collaboration.
“One of the great songwriters of his time” – NEW YORK TIMES
“This is music of rare guile and originality” – THE SUN
“Arguably the greatest American singer-songwriter of this generation” – VICE
“Long live Cass McCombs” – DROWNED IN SOUND
