A moment a decade-plus in the making, UK indie rockers Amber Run will finally tour Australia.
The 'I Found' hitmakers from Nottingham are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut album '5AM', the band's first lap down under to take in five shows: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth next April.
The trio of frontman Joe Keogh, bassist Tomas Sperring, and keyboardist Henry Wyeth are amped for their first visit here. "AUSTRALIA. It's finally happening.
"We're bringing the 5AM anniversary tour down under next April 2026 hitting Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. This has been a long time in the works and we are so excited to finally meet you all!"
Alongside the title track and 'I Found', '5AM' also features 'Just My Soul Responding', 'Spark', 'Noah', 'Heaven' and 'Kites'. Their expanded catalogue (four records and five EPs) includes 'Fickle Game', 'Amen' and 'Hide & Seek'. Their most recent album is 2023's 'How To Be Human'.
Part of the 10th anniversary celebrations of '5AM', Amber Run have re-recorded both 'I Found' and '5AM' tracks with Freya Ridings and Billianne respectively.
"We are so excited that Billianne has joined us on a brand new version of '5AM'. She came out on the road with us and we were all blown away by her," shares Amber Run.
"A beautiful person and one of the best singers we have ever heard. Thank you Billi and we really hope you all enjoy this new version as much as we do!"
Through their subsequent albums, 'For A Moment, I Was Lost', 'Philophobia', and 'How To Be Human' the band have continued to provide the soundtrack to the lives of people all over the world.
Their early 2014 single 'I Found' has taken on a life of its own; currently sitting at over half a billion streams having found viral success connecting with a new generation of fans on TikTok, where millions of people have created videos inspired by the track.
"Ten years of 'I Found' and today we are releasing a new version alongside some extras to celebrate. This song has grown into the world in these last ten years – just with you guys listening and sharing, it's turned into something we could never have dreamt of.
"Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy 'I Found' in these forms. Here's to another ten years. Your friends, AR x."
