Melbourne Oddworld heroes Ocean Grove return to the road this April, for an 11-date east-coast tour.
Armed with their 2022 album 'Up In The Air Forever' – featuring the singles 'Cali Sun' and 'Sex Dope Gold' – the trio will headline gigs in Newcastle, Penrith, Wollongong, Canberra, Albury, Bendigo, Geelong, Melbourne, Frankston, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast."We cut our teeth on regional tours around Australia back when OG was starting out," shares Ocean Grove vocalist Dale Tanner.
"Hopping in a van (or in our case, my ute) and taking to the highways led us to some of the most outrageous and memorable times of our career and lives.
"It's been well over six years since putting together a regional headline tour of our own and we are so psyched to finally return to so many great parts of the country and revive this energy that defined the early years of the band.
"There's nothing quite like performing in far-flung places away from the major cities – the rarity of the occasion creates something pretty special.
"No one in the room takes the moment for granted, including the band, and you feel proud to be part of something bigger, a community that just needed its chance to shine. They've been asking for it, so here we f...ing go!"
Also joining the fun will be Melbourne punk lords Deez Nuts and Sydney emo rockers Bloom.
Tickets are on sale.
