San Diego soul trio Thee Sacred Souls are heading back to Melbourne, locking in a one-night-only performance at Hamer Hall on Sunday 31 May 2026.
The show marks the band’s first return to Australia since 2024, with local fans quick to embrace their smooth, throwback sound. Known for blending classic soul influences with a modern edge, the trio has built a reputation for heartfelt live performances that lean into rich instrumentation and understated emotion.
Formed in 2019 by drummer Alex Garcia, bassist Sal Samano and vocalist Joshua Lane, Thee Sacred Souls quickly found momentum after their early club gigs led to a signing with Daptone Records. Since then, they’ve taken their sound global, appearing at major festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza while steadily growing an international following.
Their music draws heavily from 60s and 70s R&B, but never feels stuck in the past. Instead, it lands somewhere warm and familiar, with a modern polish that has connected across streaming platforms and social media. Their breakout track Can I Call You Rose? became an early viral hit, helping introduce the band to a much wider audience.
Both their self-titled debut and 2024 release Got A Story To Tell have been met with strong critical response and millions of streams, cementing their place as one of the more exciting acts in contemporary soul.
Following the Melbourne performance, the band will head to Sydney Opera House Concert Hall for a Vivid LIVE appearance on 2 June.
