Don Broco’s May Tour Lineup Complete with Alt and Wayside as Supporting Acts

Don Broco has a track record of selecting exceptional supporting bands. Recently, they completed a sold-out European tour with Sleeping With Sirens and Ocean Grove opening for them, followed by a UK tour supported by Papa Roach and Dance Gavin Dance, which has also sold out. Therefore, it's no surprise that they are introducing two remarkable Australian bands to their upcoming May shows, which are expected to sell out soon!

Adelaide's Alt. is on fire, fresh from touring the country with Saosin and announcing the release date for their new album, Abeyance, in June. Alt.'s killer EP, Dysfunctional, featuring their signature blend of punk, pop, electronic, and alternative rock, has earned them the opportunity to perform with Northlane, Sleep Token, Karnivool, Cog, and sleepmakeswaves. As Alt. lists Don Broco as one of their primary influences, it is fitting that they join the festivities and deliver unforgettable performances at these shows.

Melbourne's Wayside is set to kick off this impressive lineup, which is representative of a recent trend in which Australian bands gain immense popularity overseas before receiving recognition and praise in their home country. Wayside has already accumulated an impressive 2.4M+ streams on Spotify and has been added to Apple Music's Essential New Rock playlist. Their upcoming second album, What Does Your Soul Look Like?, has been produced by Will Yip, the mastermind behind albums by Turnstile, Title Fight, and Citizen. Wayside's trajectory is so remarkable that it has caught the attention of industry experts, which is a testament to their immense talent and potential.

Catch Alt. & Wayside open for Don Broco live at the following venues:

Thursday, May 4: 170 Russell, Melbourne
Saturday, May 6: The Metro, Sydney
Sunday, May 7: The Triffid, Brisbane

RUEL – 4th Wall Australian Tour 2023

Secret Sounds is thrilled to declare that Ruel, a five-time platinum artist, will embark on an Australian tour in April 2023. This highly anticipated tour will mark Ruel’s first ever headline Arena show, and he is expected to dazzle audiences in Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Fremantle. The tour comes hot off the heels of his debut album 4TH WALL, which is scheduled for release on Friday 3 March.

Ruel is a highly accomplished international performer and a record-breaking musician for the next generation. Despite making his debut at the age of fourteen in 2017, this London-born, Sydney-raised artist has already become one of the most influential musicians of his generation. He has amassed over 2 billion global streams and 1.2 million Instagram followers, as well as breaking records as the youngest artist to win Breakthrough Artist at the ARIA Awards and the youngest musician to sell out the Sydney Opera House not just once, but twice.

It is no surprise that Ruel has gained recognition from some of the industry’s most respected figures, such as Elton John and Zane Lowe, who have championed his career development. In addition to three sold-out world tours, Ruel has shared stages with the likes of Khalid and Shawn Mendes, performed at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival, and collaborated with artists such as Denzel Curry, JVKE, Omar Apollo, and Cosmo’s Midnight.

In April, Ruel will finally bring his highly anticipated debut album, 4TH WALL, to stages across the country. Although originally heading down a Pop/R&B lane, the pandemic played a major role in catalyzing Ruel’s personal and professional growth, leading him to forge his own creative direction and expand his musical horizons. The album, executively produced by M-Phazes (Khalid, Noah Cyrus, Remi Wolf), showcases a matured sound and elevated lyricism, bending between euphoric and contemplative realms of pop.

Ruel has already given audiences a taste of the forthcoming album with the emotionally charged ballad, MUST BE NICE. This track adds to an already impressive list of releases, including the dancefloor anthem GROWING UP IS _____, dreamy LET THE GRASS GROW, and the socially and personally poignant YOU AGAINST YOURSELF.

With three EPs under his belt (READY, FREE TIME, and BRIGHT LIGHTS, RED EYES), the time has come for 4TH WALL to take flight. Ruel is set to reignite his position as one of the world’s most exciting artists when he takes to stages across the country in April for these all-ages shows. Fans are encouraged to snap up tickets quickly when they go on sale from 9 am local time on Friday 10 February. Ruel expressed his excitement for the tour, saying, “I am so excited to tour AU/NZ again. Playing at home is the best feeling ever, and the crowds are always so energizing. It’s going to be so much fun to finally play the record live and share it with everyone in real-time. These shows are always so special, and I cannot wait to see everyone again.

DON BROCO Release Brand New Single ‘Fingernails’

UK chart-toppers DON BROCO have released their brand-new single ‘Fingernails’ via Sharptone Records. The incendiary new track takes aim at the violent nature of the world with gargantuan riffs, punchy beatdowns and a huge anthemic chorus. It’s accompanied by the kind of epic animated sci-fi / dinosaur / disaster-movie style video that DON BROCO excel at!

With the release of ‘Fingernails’, DON BROCO have also announced a huge arena tour for March 2023 with support from Papa Roach and Dance Gavin Dance. The four-date run will start at Cardiff Motorpoint Arena (March 21st), followed by Leeds First Direct Arena (March 23rd), Birmingham Utilita Arena (March 24th) and finish at London’s Alexandra Palace (March 25th).

Regarding the tour DON BROCO frontman Rob Damiani says, “Beyond pumped to announce the Amazing Things arena tour featuring a line up only the sweetest dreams are made of. There’s no two ways about it, we wouldn’t be the band we are today if it wasn’t for the legends that are Papa Roach so as you can imagine we’re super excited to have the guys out with us as well as our ridiculously talented friends Dance Gavin Dance. See you next year!

DON BROCO will be featuring their brand-new single, ‘Fingernails’, alongside fan favourites and tracks from their No.1 album Amazing Things, which topped the UK Official Album Chart in February this year. The album became the band’s third consecutive UK Top 10 album release and features hit singles including the Radio 1 playlisted ‘One True Prince’.

Amazing Thingssaw DON BROCO expand their sound further than ever before, creating a masterpiece melding electro, rock, pop, metal and more all wrapped up in their own unique blend.

‘Fingernails’ sees the band continue to expand their sonic horizons into uncharted territories once again to astonishing effect as they continue to prove just why they are one of the most important UK rock bands today.
