Close to a decade since they last ventured down under, The Wonder Years return to Australia in 2025.
Set to celebrate their 20th birthday in 2025, the Philadelphia emo alt-rockers will headline gigs in Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Hobart, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth next March-April.The band will be bringing a career-spanning set bridging such pop-punk classic albums as 'The Upsides' (2010), 'Suburbia I've Given You All And Now I'm Nothing' (2011), 'The Greatest Generation' (2013) and 'No Closer To Heaven' (2015).
"We are absolutely ecstatic to be coming back to Australia early next year," lead vocalist Dan Campbell says. "It's been far too long and we're extra excited that these are venue shows where we can play full and long sets for y'all."
Some seven years since they last touched Aussie soil, The Wonder Years will be joined at all dates by California punks Joyce Manor.
"Also, to somehow make all of this even more incredible, we get to have Joyce Manor, one of our all time favourite bands," adds Dan, "and [Melbourne up-and-comers] Suzi, who have quickly become one of our new favourites, on these shows with us. It's truly a dream tour in dream places and we hope to see you there."
Tickets on sale from 11am (local time) on 27 November.
