Genre-spanning UK act Black Country, New Road announce first ever Australian shows

London art-rock outfit Black Country, New Road are finally making their way to Australia.

After hitting New Zealand and major cities on Australia’s east coast, Black Country, New Road will finish up the tour with a Perth show at The Rechabite on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.

In early 2022, Black Country, New Road released their UK #3 album, Ants From Up There (their second Top 5 UK album debut in 12 months, following their Mercury Prize shortlisted debut For the first time), which scored numerous five-star reviews and appeared on many best records of the year lists across the globe. All of this happened despite being the album being released just days after frontman Isaac Wood announced his decision to step away from the band.

Fresh from the success of Ants From Up There and with a full touring schedule ahead of them, the band forged on as a six-piece with remaining members — Lewis Evans, May Kershaw, Georgia Ellery, Luke Mark, Tyler Hyde and Charlie Wayne — writing an entire new set of material to perform.

The band went on to perform at major festivals like Primavera, Green Man and Fuji Rock, entering a new musical phase as they navigated and developed songs that were just weeks old.

Since then, Black Country, New Road have spent the entirety of 2023 touring the globe, playing to massive crowds at c6 Fest in Brazil, Glastonbury, Primavera Sound, Best Kept Secret and more.

Black Country, New Road play The Rechabite on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. Tickets are on sale Friday, October 27 from handsometours.com
