Sleep Token Upgrade Brisbane & Melbourne Venues. Sydney & Perth Shows Sold Out. Touring in April & May

TSleep Token, the UK underground entity woke up the Australian fans with the announcement of their first Australian headline tour in April and May sending everyone in a frenzy. We have some great news for the fans who slept on tickets to the sold out Brisbane and Melbourne shows.

Due to overwhelming demand, we have upgraded the Brisbane show on Friday 28 April to The Tivoli and the Northcote Theatre in Melbourne on Sunday 30 April. All tickets remain valid with additional tickets on sale now.

Sydney and Perth shows are both sold out with final tickets on sale in Adelaide. Get in quick to avoid disappointment, you don’t want to snooze on this one.
 
Renowned for their immersive and intimate live performances, the anonymous collective that is Sleep Token, fronted by the masked Vessel, have previously wowed crowds onstage at a huge variety of festivals over the years, as well as shows alongside the likes of Architects, Nothing More, Polyphia and countless others, with 2022 also previously offering Australian fans a chance to catch the group alongside Northlane and Plini for some heart-stopping shows.

Armed with two mesmerising albums, 2019’s Sundowning and 2021’s This Place Will Become Your Tomb, Sleep Token pushed their own fluid boundaries farther than ever with their sophomore release last year, blurring genres alongside oscillating moments of visceral melodics, thunderous drums, hooks and an enigmatic darkness that burrows you deep into the Sleep Token world.

As anyone who has previously attended a live Sleep Token experience can attest to, the irresistible might of Sleep Token grows with each passing year, and a live Sleep Token performances is truly akin to an otherworldly ritual, worshiping cryptic lyricism, a jaw-dropping blend of alt metal, progressive flourishes and post metal, and utterly stunning technicality.

Tickets are on sale now at destroyalllines.com.au

Mudhoney Announce Huge 2023 Australian Tour

Press Play Presents
MUDHONEY 

Tickets on Sale now from pressplaypresents.com/artists/mudhoney

Seminal Seattle four-piece Mudhoney return to Australia in 2023, marking nine years since their last local shows in 2014. A mammoth odyssey spanning April and May will see them playing headline shows across six states, with a handful of festival dates among them.
 
Mudhoney have an enviable career spanning over three decades, thirteen studio albums, five live records, and endless headline shows around the globe. Their provocative debut single ‘Touch Me I’m Sick’ and 1992 hit ‘Suck You Dry’ cemented them as pioneers of the late 80’s early 90’s grunge explosion, with their sound an instrumental foundation of the era.
 
The band have managed to find time to lay down tracks in the studio this year for their next opus due in 2023, which follows their 2019 EP “Morning in America” (“this is wilder, punkier and even funnier than last time around” – Clash), giving Australian fans the opportunity to hear all of the new and a bunch of the former favourites live.

Year after year, Mudhoney delivers contrarian, politically charged, anti-sentimental musings with their signature skuzz-rock rebellious, underground sound to wake you up, punch you in the gut and put a smile on your face with equal measure.

PIXIES Return To Australia For Their COME ON PILGRIM… IT’S SURFER ROSA Australian & NZ Tour 2022

PIXIES, one of the most influential alternative rock bands of all time, have unfinished business in Australia and New Zealand and will be returning in 2022 for their mammoth – Come On Pilgrim… It’s Surfer Rosa tour. Pixies’ debut releases – the electrifying 1987 EP Come On Pilgrim and 1988’s debut full-length album, Surfer Rosa – brought rise to a new genre and defined contemporary music for a generation.

The tour will bear witness to both seminal albums being performed in full – plus new and old tracks spanning their extensive catalogue. Surfer Rosa is a record made up of rage, religion, gore, incest, and superheroes named Tony – a debut album so good that it’s since been seen as a masterpiece. Produced by Steve Albini, it includes early Pixies classics such as “Bone Machine,” “Gigantic,” “Vamos” and “Where Is My Mind?”. Come On Pilgrim contained eight songs from the band’s first-ever studio session, produced by Gary Smith and recorded at his Fort Apache Studio near Boston.

Almost two years to the day, Pixies were forced to leave Australia when the global pandemic took hold. With only one show in Auckland and one in Melbourne completed, the band was determined to get the show back on the road and will return to Australian and New Zealand shores this December.

On announcing the new shows the band said: “We are thrilled to be able to announce our return to Australia and New Zealand in December 2022, following the untimely postponement of some of these shows back in 2020. We will be returning to play two different sets across the tour:

1. Performing Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa in their entirety – in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Wellington, and Christchurch.

2. A brand new set featuring songs from across our catalogue, including some oldies and some brand new tracks – in Melbourne and Auckland. La la love you!”

The tour will start in Brisbane at the Fortitude Music Hall on 2nd December followed by a not-to-be-missed momentous show under the stars at Sydney Opera House Forecourt on 3rd December. Melbourne gets a second treat with a different set to the one they performed in 2020 at the Forum on 7th December before heading to Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre on 8th December and Fremantle at the Arts Centre on 10th December. Pixies will then head over the ditch for shows at Wellington Opera House on 14th December, Auckland Town Hall on 16th December, and Christchurch Town Hall on 17 December.

Tickets for all shows go on sale at 2 pm local time Tuesday 5 April. My Live Nation members can be among the first to secure tickets during the pre-sale beginning at 1 pm local time Friday 1 April, register here.

Forming in Boston, Massachusetts in 1986, Pixies are often acclaimed as the most influential, pioneering alternative band of the late 80s, garnering extraordinary critical and popular acclaim. After five genre-defining studio albums, Pixies disbanded in 1993. The tide turned in 2004 – the band reunited and began touring, playing to sell-out crowds around the world including their first-ever Australian performances in 2007, later to be followed by a 13-show sold-out Doolittle tour in 2010 and again in 2017. Those 2004 shows, across four nights at London’s iconic Brixton Academy have just been released as a special ‘Live in Brixton’ box set. The eight discs of heavyweight 180-gram vinyl feature all of the big hitters and fan favorites from the landmark albums ‘Doolittle’ and ‘Surfer Rosa’; key songs and obscurities from the rest of their catalogue as well as some eclectic covers.

Following their acclaimed 2019 album ‘Beneath the Eyrie’ and archival live recording releases, Pixies have just released a new single titled ‘Human Crime’. Written by Pixies founder and frontman Black Francis, the video was directed by the band’s bass player Paz Lenchantin.
