Set to release their fifth studio album Forgiving Spree on Friday 24 January in 2025, today Australian indie rockers SLOWLY SLOWLY announce their Forgiving Spree Australian headline tour, with the quartet primed to journey across Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne next April, joined by special guests HONEY REVENGE (USA) for the East Coast shows, and GRAYSCALE (USA) for all five dates.
“It’s been a while between drinks—we couldn’t be more ecstatic to announce this homecoming tour. These are some serious rooms and we couldn’t think of a better way to drop punt our new album ‘Forgiving Spree’ off into the stratosphere. We are intent on making these shows feel both like huge spectacles, but also intensely intimate – join us for our biggest headlines to date, across our beloved home country after almost 18 months of time away. We can’t wait to see you.

Also, the icing on the cake is that we get to hang with our friends in Honey Revenge (US) and soon to be new best buds Grayscale (US). Who would have thought a little band from Melbourne Aus could bring an international bill together? Not us haha. We’ll have our work cut out for us keeping up with the immense talent on the stages each night.” – 
Ben Stewart, Slowly Slowly
An album tailor-made for a live setting, spurred by the excitement of SLOWLY SLOWLY‘s tour supporting their previous 2022 album Daisy ChainForgiving Spree encapsulates the quartet’s pop sensibilities with hip-shaking grooves, infectious melodies and choruses designed to induce mass live singalongs, while also brimming with lyrics laden with frontman Ben Stewart’s trademark rumination and clever wordplay.

With each new release, from 2016’s Chamomile through to 2018’s St Leonards, 2020’s Race Car Blues and 2022’s Daisy ChainSLOWLY SLOWLY continue to seek beyond any creative comfort zones without sacrificing their core strengths, emerging time and time again with an engaging and unique mix of introspection, open-vein narratives and potent melancholia adjacent to sparkling pop sensibilities. Marking the band’s most adventurous chapter yet, Forgiving Spree spans influences including The Killers, Bruce Springsteen and John Farnham, while also nodding to the raw dynamics of the likes of Gang of Youths and Stand Atlantic.

Forming in 2015, SLOWLY SLOWLY have gone on to debut at #5 on the ARIA Albums Charts for 2022’s Daisy Chain, snag nominations for the AIR Awards, APRA Awards and triple j annual J Awards, and amass an army of adoring fans at home and abroad. Renowned for their world-class live show, SLOWLY SLOWLY have also previously supported Amy Shark, Stand Atlantic, and Ocean Alley, wowed in a headline setting around the world, and enamoured with countless festival appearances, including at Good Things Festival, Groovin’ The Moo and Splendour In The Grass.

American pop punk duo HONEY REVENGE exploded onto the scene in 2021, with their buzzy debut single Miss Me bursting with colourful hooks only surpassed by the band’s own aesthetic. Inspired by You Me At Six, Demi Lovato, the edgier moments of Katy Perry, and Paramore, HONEY REVENGE released their debut album Retrovision in 2023, with an extended version releasing earlier this year including new and re-imagined tracks. In a short space of time, HONEY REVENGE have toured with The Used, Loveless and Stand Atlantic, and will be adding plenty of their own kaleodiscopic charisma to SLOWLY SLOWLY‘s Forgiving Spree tour next April in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

Philadelphia rockers GRAYSCALE weave pop, alt rock and punk with raw emotion, balancing anthemic moments with vivid vulnerability. A band who can simultaneously tug on your heartstrings and incite your dancing shoes, GRAYSCALE filter life’s highs and lows into a multi-faceted end result, with their fourth studio album The Hart due out on January 31, once again driven by the group’s commitment to creative authenticity. Actively touring and making music since forming in 2016, GRAYSCALE have toured the globe over the years, sharing stages with The Band Camino, The Maine, Gym Class Heroes and All Time Low, with their cult-like following booming with each new release and/or performance.

With guaranteed singalongs on the cards, as well as plenty of heart-bursting beauty and catharsis, come and join SLOWLY SLOWLY taking their fifth album on the road in 2025.
