Fun Lovin’ Criminals

A Matter of Time

TOURING AUSTRALIA MARCH 2026

Fun Lovin’ Criminals return to Australia this March as part of a major international tour supporting the release of their long awaited seventh album and a welcome chance to revisit of some their greatest hits.

A Matter of Time will be a bold return to the trio's gritty sound infused with rock and hip-hop. Founding member, multi-instrumentalist and producer Brian 'Fast' Leiser and drummer and producer Frank Benbini conceived the album last year and recorded during the summer. The first LP since 2010's Classic Fantastic, it is being mixed and mastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Tim Latham ISP.

Fast said: "Making A Matter of Time was a very personal and introspective experience for Frank and I. This album is a reflection of where we are as a band and the music we have created is about staying true to 'this here song', which is a line from one of the songs on the album. Throughout our 30 years in the biz, we have written and performed music that our fans love and we're continuing to do that. This is our first album of new music in 15 years and comes after the release of two EPs and our three-year long tour."

Fun Lovin' Criminals have spent 30 years touring the world performing hits and deep cuts from their six studio albums, two cover albums and sought-after remixes. They are best known for Scooby Snacks, which sampled dialogue from Quentin Tarantino's films Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, and have sold millions of records.

Their debut album Come Find Yourself peaked at No.7 in the UK album chart in 1996 and was certified platinum, thanks to hits like King of New York. Their second album 100% Colombian, released in 1998, also went platinum, peaking at No.3 in the UK and spawning the hits Love Unlimited, Korean Bodega and Big Night Out.

For three decades, Fun Lovin' Criminals have garnered a cult following and cemented their reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in the world. Since 2021, Fast, Frank and guitarist Naim Cortazzi have performed more than 150 shows in over 10 countries, sharing festival stages with Jamiroquai, Nile Rodgers and Chic, among many others.

Frank said: "We have played everywhere from the west coast of the USA to the east coast of New Zealand. The reason we have been able to do this is because we now have a renewed creative freedom. Fun Lovin' Criminals are not going anywhere — except on tour. Our fans have been wanting to hear new music from us for years and we can't wait to release this album and hit the road."
