The Australian dates cap a global touring cycle behind SHISH that has already carried the band across North America in late 2025 and through the U.K. and Europe in early 2026.

Released Nov. 7, 2025 via the band’s KNIK imprint through Thirty Tigers, the ten-track album is the follow-up to a busy stretch that included the surprise EP uLu Selects Vol. 2. Frontman John Gourley has described the record as an exploration of survival, connection and rural life, drawing on the band’s Alaskan roots; its title track, “Denali,” lends the tour its name.

Formed in Wasilla, Alaska and now based in Portland, Oregon, Portugal. The Man spent more than a decade as a cult touring act — building a reputation for prolific output and restless, genre-blurring psychedelic rock — before breaking through to the mainstream. That commercial turning point came with 2017’s Woodstock and its single “Feel It Still,” an unlikely crossover smash that reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, topped both the Alternative Airplay and Adult Alternative Airplay charts, and won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2018. The track has since been certified multi-platinum, and Woodstock became the band’s highest-charting album, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard 200.

Rather than chase that success with a sound-alike follow-up, the band spent the years after “Feel It Still” making what it has called its two most stylistically diverse records, culminating in SHISH. The group is also known for pairing its music with activism, frequently using its platform to advocate on social and political causes, and the Australian run is billed under the banner “Support Your Local Crews and Workers.”
