Irish rockers The Coronas have certified their love affair with Australia, with their fourth tour in as many years down under.
The Dublin band, responsible for such hits as 'Heroes Or Ghosts', 'San Diego Song' and 'Addicted To Paradise', will headline concerts in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. "See you in November Australia š¦šŗ!"Named for the typewriter used by protagonist William Miller in the 2000 flick 'Almost Famous', The Coronas have been charming crowds across the world for years since releasing their self-titled EP in 2006.
Along the way they've released eight studio albums ā the last four all landing at #1 on the Irish album charts ā while supporting, opening or sharing the stage with the likes of The Script, Sir Paul McCartney, Justin Timberlake, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and Ellie Goulding.
Australia remains a highlight destination for the band, with lead vocalist Danny O'Reilly declaring it "one of my favourite places in the world to tour".
"It reminds me of home in a certain way. The Aussies know how to have fun, a bit like the Irish. My favourite thing about touring Australia is the people; the coffee; the weather; the breakfasts; the atmosphere at the shows ā I guess that's the people again. We've been so welcomed in Aus every time we've played there. We can't wait!"
Australia's large Irish expat population also makes it a worthy voyage to undertake. "The expats love to make themselves seen (and heard!) at the shows," Danny adds
"They've no shame, Irish flag waving, shouting at the top of their lungs like they're out for the first and last time ever! The Aussies at our shows still know how to have fun, but they're a bit cooler and understated."
By the time they arrive down under, The Coronas will have added Glastonbury to their resume. "The set is gonna be a little different for sure," shares Danny of what Aussie fans can expect.
"We've been on the road now a lot of this year already, around Europe and we're just about to start a UK tour then we'll be off to the US and Canada for a tour in July, so we should have the show pretty tight by our Australian tour.
"There's gonna be a mixture of newer stuff and some old Coronas songs but loads of energy and good vibes."
