Karaoke Bar is the sixth studio album by the Australian singer-songwriter duo Angus & Julia Stone. The album was announced in May 2026 alongside the release of the title track. It was released on 4 September 2026.
The album was created across multiple locations in Greece, France and Australia and the album is shaped by the people and places they encountered.
The album will be supported with an Australian tour commencing in February 2027.
Reception Chris Bound from Mystic Sons scored the album 8/10 saying, "Karaoke Bar doesn't radically overhaul their sound, but it does feel refreshed by travel, spontaneity and a greater sense of ease. Warm, varied and beautifully paced, it captures Angus & Julia Stone continuing to find new emotional territory inside a musical language that has long since become distinctly their own."
