Australian indie stalwarts, Ball Park Music are leaning into one of their catchphrases, the great rock 'n' roll adventure, as they kickstart the band's next chapter.
Coined by one of their beloved, dearly departed tour managers, the phrase embodies the band's touring mantra, a ramshackle statement to inspire when life on the road becomes too encompassing or provide a lighthearted moment within the pressures of tour life.
It was just as suitable to yell in the glow of post-show euphoria as it was to say in the quiet melancholy of a 4am lobby call, admits the band.
Nominated for three ARIA Awards, including Best Rock Album for 'Like Love', Ball Park Music will explore their entire back catalogue when they tour nationally next May-June, with headline concerts in Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Fremantle and Brisbane.
"We are kicking off the next chapter of the great rock 'n' roll adventure with some 2026 headline shows 🤘🏻. We've had the craziest 12 months here at The Park. It's been unlike anything else we've ever experienced in all our years of playing together.
"We've learned so much and the engine of the live show feels like it's running better than ever. We've decided to celebrate with a lap around Oz playing at some of our favourite venues. Can't wait to see you all again soon."
