Wednesday, the North Carolina rock band led by generational songwriter Karly Hartzman, announce their imminent Australian tour for May/June this year. Following a relentless and rewarding touring schedule, the band are set to showcase live just what made their latest album Bleeds one of 2025’s greatest on their Australian return for RISING Melbourne and a Sydney headline show, (plus more shows to be announced), and will no doubt cement their reputation as one of the most essential and compelling bands of the current cultural landscape.

About Wednesday
Formed in Asheville North Carolina in 2017, Wednesday are beloved by fans and critics alike. Their Southern rock sound is an intoxicating blend of outlaw grit, place-based poetry, and hair-raising noise and as fans can attest, their live show is phenomenal; a gloriously ramshackle, emotive and powerful communal experience.
From wowing crowds at Golden Plains, MONA FOMA and Perth Festival as well as sweaty club shows, Wednesday have gone on to play their biggest shows to date around the world, most recently selling out the 3,000 cap Roundhouse in London, hailed by The Times as “A five-star example of the US crank rock invasion.”
