Good Charlotte fans may be in for a treat soon, as the pop punk band appears to have teased an upcoming Australia tour.
The American rockers left their mark on Sydney this week when signs began to appear in high-traffic areas with a message from the band.
In photos shared with Daily Mail by Whatslively on Friday, one particular sign could be seen hanging on a bridge over a main street busy with cars.
‘Sydney, this song is dedicated to every kid who ever got picked last in gym class,’ the message read for passing drivers.
Whatslively have now predicted the rock band will officially announce their tour this month, with concert dates expected to take place in autumn of 2026.
Good Charlotte last toured Australia in September 2012, when they performed at the Fat As Butter Festival, as well as in Sydney and Melbourne.

The upcoming tour coincides with the recent release of the new Good Charlotte album, titled Motel du Cap, in August this year.
It was the first music released by the band since 2018, with the band going on a five-year hiatus until they reunited in 2023 to play at a very special gig.
The band members—Joel Madden, Benji Madden, Paul Thomas, Billy Martin and Dean Butterworth—teamed up to play the wedding of Joel’s sister-in-law, Sofia Richie.
Sofia, the sister of Joel’s wife Nicole Richie, tied the knot with his good friend, record label boss Elliot Grainge.
Good Charlotte were asked to get the band back together and play at the milestone event, with the musicians saying the gig brought their group back to life.
‘It reminded me of our first couple of gigs in a friend’s basement, and then in a friend’s backyard, where it’s just all your friends and everybody rooting for you,’ Benji told news.com.au last month.
The hiatus prior to Motel du Cap was the second break the band has taken, with the first coming in late 2011 following the release of their Greatest Hits album and their 2010 Cardiology album.
Twin brothers Joel and Benji, 46, said they took a break to focus on family and other projects, with Joel admitting upon their return in 2016 that they needed to figure out who they were outside of the band.

‘We love making music—it’s a passion, and it’s our outlet—but that’s not only who we are,’ Benji said at the Grammy Awards this year.
‘I think we really needed the time to just be ourselves in life… separating our own value as people from music.’
Good Charlotte formed in 1995 in Waldorf, Maryland, with the band’s line-up remaining consistent since 2005.
They released their self-titled debut album in 2000.
