Kingswood are going old-school touring in 2023, with the Aussie rockers to embark on a massive national tour of more than 60 live dates.
The band, who are currently on a US-European tour (30-plus dates), will be on the road from mid-January through to early June criss-crossing the country in their modified coach bus.They'll visit New South Wales, Queensland, ACT, Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia with dates to be announced in Northern Territory and Tasmania.
"In Europe and America we tour in a sleeper bus, it works over there because cities are so close," the band says.
"This doesn't work in Australia unless you're going rural, town to town. Which is what we are doing. But no sleeper bus like this exists back home so we are building our own just for this tour.
"This is phase one of the tour, there is a lot more to be announced next year. It will make it the greatest tour ever undertaken in Australia."
The band will release their new studio album, 'Home', early 2023 as well; they've shared record single 'Burning Holes' that was mixed and mastered in Nashville by American engineer Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlisle).
"'Burning Holes' signifies themes of solace, resolve and independence," shares Kingswood.
"Whilst initial inclinations might appear as longingly and melancholy, a subversive celebration of acceptance and contentment begins to resound, tied into the optimistic sounds of the harmonic consideration and emotional tones.
"The experience echoes the writing of classic country tropes where sorrow and hope clash in a beautiful duet.
"To be frank, the creation of the song was incredibly straightforward – set up, play and sing. All live, all in one performance, dedicated and honest.
"We just kept tracking until one of the performances felt reflective of everything we set out to achieve emotionally and what you’re hearing is it."
Tickets are on sale from 9am EDT on 22 October.
