Following on from their live dates with indie-rock stalwarts Lime Cordiale, Boorloo/Perth-based indie-pop quartet COTERIE have just announced Australian headline tour dates to celebrate their recent album success. The tour is named after the fan-adored track ‘Honey Dance With Me’ – lifted from their debut self-titled album, which debuted at #4 on the ARIA Album Charts and #1 on the New Zealand Album Charts.
Having sold over three thousand tickets across seven dates on their previous Australian headline tour, selling out five venues, including Boorloo/Perth’s Astor Theatre, COTERIE will be performing across eleven dates on the Australian mainland, taking over venues such as Eora/Sydney’s Factory Theatre, Naarm/Melbourne’s Corner Hotel, Meanjin/Brisbane’s Princess Theatre, Tandanya/Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory, and Boorloo/Perth’s Metro City, alongside select regional cities and towns.

“We’re so excited to be hitting the road again playing some of our favourite cities and towns in Australia, enjoying all the beautiful sights, and of course, hanging with our awesome fans,” says COTERIE. “We’re stoked knowing many of these fans will be seeing us live for the first time, so we want to make it really special for everyone who comes along!”
As an independent band made up of four brothers, COTERIE became one of the fastest-growing artists in the Australian and New Zealand music scene in 2022. The release of fan favourite, ‘Cool It Down’, catapulted the group to the #1 spot in the New Zealand Music Charts, becoming the #1 Most Shazammed song in the country for over three months, gaining over five million streams on Spotify and almost two million YouTube views.
COTERIE’s audience grew once again when they were invited to support New Zealand stalwarts Six60 in Australia throughout April and June, performing to crowds of up to ten thousand people per night. August saw the band sign to Six60’s newly formed Massive Records (Sony Music New Zealand) before joining them once again on six stadium dates throughout New Zealand, followed by festival appearances at By The C, Caloundra Music Festival, Promiseland Festival, Oakura Groove, Woodford Folk Festival and NYE on the Hill.
At the end of 2022, COTERIE released their debut self-titled album, featuring previous singles ‘Killing It Off’, ‘West Coast Drive’, ‘Deja Vu’, and their Six60 collab ‘Always Beside You’. Singles from the album have received widespread support from triple j, triple j Unearthed, Double J, ABC Radio Australia, Hit Network, NOVA, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Clash Magazine, NME and Pilerats.
COTERIE were awarded Songwriter of the Year at the 2022 Waiata Maori Music Awards and Live Act of the Year at the WAM Awards. They were also nominated for Best New Zealand Act at the 2022 MTV EMAs, and Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the New Zealand Music Awards.
“2022 almost seems like a dream looking back at it,” the band reflects. “So many unexpected and exciting events that blew our minds. We’re just so grateful to our fans, friends and collaborators, and we’re ready to do it all over again in 2023.”
