alt-J are thrilled to announce two very special live performances of their 2012 ARIA Platinum selling and UK Mercury-prize winning debut album, An Awesome Wave. Celebrating the albums’ 10th anniversary, the band will be playing the game-changing debut in full from start to finish, plus bonus tracks at Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre on Friday 23 September and Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Sunday 25 September.

Speaking of their decision to perform the album live in Australia the band say: “To celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the album that changed our lives, we are thrilled to announce these extra gigs in Australia where we will play An Awesome Wave in full. We know how much this record means to our Aussie fans and can’t wait to turn back the clock to 2012 with them in our favourite country.”

It is set to be a truly momentous show, a celebration of the album that introduced the world to Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Sonny Green’s beautifully imaginative, and genre-defying, music. The two shows are to take place during the band’s Australia and New Zealand run across Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth in support of their fourth and most recent album, The Dream.

10 February 2022

Welcome back to Australia and New Zealand UK alt-rock band alt-J, who will headline six massive shows across Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth for The Dream Tour 2022.

The tour announcement comes ahead of the release of their new album The Dream with their latest single ‘The Actor’ and previously released tracks ‘Hard Drive Gold’, ‘U&ME’, and ‘Get Better’. The Dream will be the fourth studio album for alt-J, following on from the chart-topping success of Relaxer (2017), This Is All Yours (2014) and An Awesome Wave (2012).

alt-J are one of the most successful British bands of the millennium. Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Green have released three studio albums (four as of Friday 11 February) that, between them, have sold in excess of two million copies and their songs have been streamed over two and a half billion times.

The Dream Tour will be an electrifying live show that aims to bring friends together and leave the audience with the feeling that nothing in life could be any better than it is right now.
