As the arrival of their first new album ('Where The Light Goes') in 11 years quickly approaches, Matchbox Twenty will return to Australian stages in 2024 – their first shows down under since 2012.
Set to bring US rockers Goo Goo Dolls ('Iris', 'Slide') with them, the Rob Thomas-led Matchbox Twenty will headline concerts in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Yarra Valley, Wollongong, Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Gold Coast and Brisbane next February."You'd think that it would feel surreal being back onstage fronting Matchbox Twenty after going solo, but it feels very comfortable to be honest," Rob Thomas says.
"It always feels comfortable if you dance with the date that you came with, and Matchbox Twenty is the date that I came with.
"Performing onstage with your mates that you've been in a band with for decades is such a privilege and it's something we never take for granted, especially these days.
"Our Australian tour follows a massive 50-plus date US tour for Matchbox Twenty, so we'll definitely be match-fit and ready to rock your socks off as well.
"It's been way too long since I've seen all your Aussie faces. Already looking forward to February!"
