Straight Line Was A Lie - The Beths

Globetrotting local four piece, The Beths, are thrilled to announce their return home; playing seven shows throughout Aotearoa next March in celebration of their recently released fourth album, Straight Line Was A Lie. 

Released in August 2025, Straight Line Was A Lie is their first album released via American label ANTI-, debuting at #1 on the Aotearoa Album Chart and receiving glowing reviews from press around the world. 

Last night, The Beths made their late night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! performing Straight Line Was A Lie’s standout opening title track, praised by Stereogum as a “total slam dunk of an opener.”

The performance is a taste of what to expect on the band’s homecoming tour, which kicks off at Meow Nui in Wellington with two nights on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 of March 2026. The band then head south to Dunedin, playing Glenroy Auditorium on Friday 20 March, James Hay in Christchurch on Sunday 22 March and Theatre Royal in Nelson on Monday 23 March. The tour wraps up with two shows at the iconic Powerstation in Auckland on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 March
