Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling British band Glass Animals have announced their forthcoming Australian tour, sending heat waves across some of Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney’s most prestigious venues throughout November, with their beloved brand of alt-pop.
On Wednesday 20 November, the band land in Melbourne for a performance at Sidney Myer Music Bowl, before heading to Brisbane’s Riverstage on Friday 22 November. The following week, the band head to Sydney’s monumental sails for an unmissable performance on the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Tuesday 26 November.
The announcement arrives ahead of the band’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, I Love You So F***ing Much. Due out on 19 July 2024, ILYSFM is an expansive record about love in all its shapes and forms, befit with retro-futuristic production that travels in and out of the “shapelessness of love”.
Frontman Dave Bayley said: “Australia. We love you so f***ing much. When we first came to tour over there, we only had like four songs. So we played them twice. And you forgave us.”
“And then you gave us our first ever hottest 100 success with Gooey. And then you embraced Heat Waves so hard I tattooed the shape of Australia on my arse cheek. It is my only tattoo. I forget it’s there sometimes and it startles me when I get out of my bubble bath,” he said.
Earlier this year, Glass Animals announced a mammoth 44 date tour, taking the four-piece band across North America, Europe and UK, kicking off in the USA next month, and concluding at London’s 20,000-capacity The O2 Arena on 7 November.
