Our weekly update brings you a round up of new and exciting tour announcements for this week. Featuring who’s heading to Melbourne and where to grab your tickets.
International Acts
Prince Daddy & the Hyena / Macseal
New York punk and indie rock acts Prince Daddy & the Hyena and Macseal will make their Australian debut this July, joining forces for an exciting eight-date co-headlining tour. The tour arrives hot on the heels of Prince Daddy & the Hyena’s highly anticipated fourth LP announcement, Hotwire Trip Switch.
Since forming out of Albany’s DIY scene, Prince Daddy have built a career out of reaching their breaking point. On Hotwire Trip Switch, they recalibrate and reconnect with their roots while sounding more focused than ever, evolving towards more refined, melodic, and deliberate songwriting, with plenty of the rough and raw punk elements that built the band up in the first place.
Long Island indie rockers Macseal have built a reputation for making expertly crafted indie rock that bridges the gap between emo and power-pop, resulting in a coffee-fuelled 2000s coming-of-age sound that energises audiences, encouraging them to crowd surf and nod along.
A stacked lineup of local supports will join the tour along the way, with emo rock favourites Talk Heavy appearing in Brisbane, indie post-punk trio Trophy Wyfe in Newcastle, punk rockers Amends in Sydney, shoegaze icons Paint in Melbourne, indie-emo three-piece Townhouse in Adelaide, and WAM Award-winning alt-rock outfit About Yesterday in Perth. Joining every show except Perth will be Australian folk-rock songstress, Suzi.
