La Dispute | Liberty Hall

La Dispute announce their No One Was Driving the Car headline tour, which will be hitting our shores on 23 October 2026 at Liberty Hall, Entertainment Quarter, Sydney.

La Dispute will be promoting their latest album No One Was Driving The Car, released in September of 2025 via Epitaph Records.

It’s been six years since La Dispute released their last album, Panorama. Since then, the Michigan post-hardcore band made up of Jordan Dreyer on vocals, Brad Vander Lugt on drums, Chad Morgan-Sterenberg and Corey Stroffolino on guitar, and Adam Vass on bass dealt with the stagnance of the pandemic, celebrated the ten-year anniversaries of Wildlife and Rooms Of The House, and began working on No One Was Driving The Car.

The fifth studio LP is the first entirely produced by the group, and it came together in Grand Rapids and Detroit, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Philippines: “I think the change in environment was really helpful to breathing new life into the process each time we came back to it,” Dreyer says.

Self produced and heavily inspired by the 2017 psychological thriller First Reformed, No One Was Driving The Car grapples with malaise in the shadow of the looming apocalypse, which has noticeably been worsened by the advancement of tech. The title comes from a quote from a police officer that vocalist Jordan Dreyer read in a news article about a lethal selfdriving Tesla crash, an absurd event which raises questions about the amount of control we have in our own lives.
