Jet announce extended edition of Get Born anniversary tour

Jet have announced an extended run of dates across Australia celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Get Born. The Melbourne rockers will bring the ‘Extended Edition‘ tour to Metropolis Fremantle on Friday, May 17.

The new tour follows on from a successful anniversary tour last September, but this time hits a fresh list of towns and cities across the country, including Torquay, Hobart, Fremantle, Darwin, Brunswick Heads, Sunshine Coast, Central Coast, Kiama, Canberra and Newcastle.

Jet will play Get Born in full, re-visiting the track list that won them fans across the world—including Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Look What You’ve Done, Rollover DJ and more.

“Get Born was a rare and unique moment of total planetary alignment where we somehow managed to capture lighting in a bottle,” said Nic Cester.

“I don’t remember much about the actual day Get Born was released,” added Mark Wilson. “I think we were in Pittsburgh. I’m sure we celebrated, but to be honest, we celebrated every night back in those days. 2003 was one big blurry haze for me.”

Get Born scored six ARIA Awards and was certified 9x platinum in Australia, making it one of the top five highest-selling Australian rock albums of all time.

Jet are Nic Cester (vocals/guitar), Chris Cester (vocals/drums), Cam Muncey (vocals/guitar) and Mark Wilson (bass). Formed in Melbourne in the late ’90s, Jet released their first EP, the vinyl-only Dirty Sweet in 2002. Get Born was followed by the albums Shine On in 2006 and Shaka Rock in 2009. Jet disbanded in 2012 before re-forming in early 2017. In November last year, the band was inducted into the 2023 ARIA Hall of Fame.

Jet’s Get Born ‘Extended Edition‘ tour hits Metropolis Fremantle on Friday, May 17, 2024. Tickets are on sale Friday, March 8 from livenation.com.au
