AUSTRALIAN TOUR – THEIR BIGGEST YET! Including Crooked Wines Gerringong
February 27, 2020
The Rubens are extremely excited to announce their biggest Australian tour to date! Presented by triple j, the 27-date run will see the five-piece play a combination of metro and regional venues across May – July in celebration of their infectious summer jam, ‘Live In Life’. Tickets on sale to general public Thursday 5 March at 8.00am AEDT.
The NSW band will play metro cities for the first time since their 2018 LO LA RU album shows, across venues such as Fortitude Music Hall (Bris), Freo.Social (Freo), The Forum (Melb), and The Enmore Theatre (Syd).
After having embarked on 3 regional tours in the past 18 months, the band will be revisiting old regional favourites as well as some towns they’ve never played before, including Bundaberg, Warrnambool, Shepparton and more.
Since its November release, ‘Live In Life’ has been a summer anthem across triple j (#1 most played) & the HIT network, as well as spins across Nova National Late Nights & Triple M National Late Night/Weekends. Elsewhere, the track has been hugely embraced by fans across Spotify & Apple Music, totalling over 7.5 million streams, and generating over 100,000+ Shazams in Australia alone.
Blending their signature hooky choruses with a shadowy undertone, ‘Live In Life’ was co-produced by the band and Konstantin Kersting (Tones & I, Mallrat) & recorded in the same WW2 bunker that birthed their third and most recent album, 2018’s LO LA RU.
