US rock group The National will return to Australia for the first time since 2018, joined by special guests Fleet Foxes, and Annie Hamilton.
The tour is set to hit our shores in February/March of 2024, seeing The National and Fleet Foxes touring together for the first time and playing shows in some of Australia’s finest venues.
In conjunction with the tour announcement, The National have also dropped a new release, ‘Laugh Track’ – the surprise second half of a double album which began with ‘First Two Pages Of Frankenstein’ from April of this year.
The National’s lengthy career has led to extraordinary success, including winning a GRAMMY Award in 2017 for Best Alternative Music Album, headlining festivals around the world, and working with a number of huge acts like Taylor Swift, Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers and Sufjan Stevens.
Joining The National are Fleet Foxes, led by Robin Pecknold. Fleet Foxes have won a legion of fans and garnered critical acclaim for their music filled with orchestrations, and gorgeous melodies fusing earthy, harmony-rick folk-rock with a sense of lush pop sophistication. Fleet Foxes tour the country for the first time since 2018 and since the release of their 2020 fourth studio album ‘Shore’.
Opening for all shows around the country will be Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist Annie Hamilton.
Tickets are on sale 22 September at 12pm.
