The Wombats are set to reignite their love affair with Australia, with the British rockers to return down under next year for a seven-date tour.
The indie lords have also revealed details of their fifth studio album, 'Fix Yourself, Not The World', which is set to drop in early January (2022).The group have today released the second single from the record, the electro-pop infused, Strokes vibes of 'If You Ever Leave, I'm Coming With You'.
"We're so excited for people to hear this new album!" drummer Dan Haggis says. "We've explored new genres and pushed ourselves further than ever musically.
"It will always stand out for us in our memories from our other albums as we recorded it across three cities during lockdown, and we weren't all in the same room at the same time."
The band will play concerts in Perth, Hobart, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Brisbane.
"To say we're excited about coming back to Australia to play some shows is the understatement of the century, but hey, the English language can only do so much," D, M & T aka The Wombats says.
"So without further ado... WE ARE SO FORKING EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE A NEW ALBUM COMING OUT IN JANUARY AND A TOUR, YES THAT'S RIGHT, SOME ACTUAL GIGS/ CONCERTS/ PERFORMANCES IN AUSTRALIA NEXT YEAR, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL!"
Tickets on sale from 9am local time 23 August. More information.
