Middle Kids Announce Faith Crisis Pt 1 Australian album tour

On the eve of the release of their third studio album, Faith Crisis Pt 1, Middle Kids have announced a national tour for May and June.

Kicking off with dates in Melbourne and Castlemaine, Middle Kids will perform at Perth’s Astor Theatre on Thursday, May 23, before rounding out the tour with shows in Adelaide, Hobart, Brisbane and the band’s hometown, Sydney.

Co-produced by Tim Fitz and Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, Beabadoobee), Faith Crisis Pt 1 is brimming with yearning, angst, pop brightness, belief in love and reassurance that even from the bottom, it’s possible to believe in beautiful things.

Middle Kids’ last album, Today We’re The Greatest, won Best Rock Album at the 2021 ARIA Awards. Released at the height of the pandemic, the album garnered the band several US TV show performances, including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and The Late, Late Show with James Cordon.

Middle Kids first gained attention in 2017 with their debut single, Edge Of Town and their debut album, Lost Friends, which won Triple J’s Best Australian Album Award in 2018. The success of their albums has also earned the band an international touring profile which has included supporting shows with the likes of Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, War on Drugs and Cold War Kids.

Middle Kids’ Faith Crisis Pt 1 tour hits Astor Theatre on Thursday, May 23, 2024. Tickets are on sale Friday, February 16, from handsometours.com
