Courtney Love has clarified that Hole is not reuniting after teasing an upcoming tour with former bandmate Melissa Auf der Maur.
As previously reported, Love posted a video of Auf der Maur on Instagram captioned, “So do we tell the kids about the tour … ?” The post is also soundtracked by the Hole song “Malibu.”
Naturally, the post led to speculation that Hole was getting back together, which Love has now refuted.
“Not a reunion baby,” Love writes in the comments of her original post. “Me and [Auf der Maur] touring new songs.”
Love also replied to a post by Spin magazine reporting on her original comments, adding, “No hole reunion, [Auf der Maur] playing shows, new songs.”
Hole last played live together in 2012. In 2019, Love posted and then deleted a photo of Hole rehearsing together. But in 2021, she told Vogue there would “absolutely not” be a Hole reunion, adding, “You guys have gotta get over it.”
Meanwhile, Auf der Maur is going on a book tour in support of her upcoming memoir, Even the Good Girls Will Cry, due out March 17, while Love is the subject of a new documentary called Antiheroine, which premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
