HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS  | LONELY WORLD TOUR

Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of If Only You Were Lonely — April 2026

Emo pioneers Hawthorne Heights are set to return to New Zealand in 2026 as part of their global Lonely World Tour, commemorating the 20th anniversary 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 anthems such as “Saying Sorry”, “Pens and Needles”, and “This Is Who We Are.” The anniversary tour offers fans the rare chance to experience the album live, in an intimate and high-energy setting.

Hawthorne Heights will play two New Zealand shows only:

Friday 17 April – Auckland | Double Whammy


Saturday 18 April – Wellington | San Fran
