Grammy-nominated live-electronic trio RÜFÜS DU SOL have today announced they’ll be bringing their larger-than-life live show home to play for Aussie fans at outdoor venues in 2022. The tour hits Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne before finishing up at Perth’s Langley Park on Saturday, December 17.
The tour announce comes off the back of what has been a mammoth few weeks for the band, dropping their anticipated fourth studio album Surrender which debuted at the top of the ARIA charts last week, picking up ARIA nominations for Best Group and Best Dance Release, performing On My Knees on Jimmy Kimmell Live!, and headlining some of America’s biggest festivals.
“We’re coming home, finally!” said the band, “And we’re bringing the biggest production we’ve ever toured with and we couldn’t be more excited about it. We’ve planned four different tours of Australia and New Zealand since 2019 and haven’t been able to announce any of them. We wanted to make sure when we announce a show, it’s gonna happen and we are confident this tour is happening and we’re are going to make up for lost time with you all.”
Surrender represents a new chapter in the world that the band has been shaping and nurturing since their inception. The record demonstrates a bolder and braver sound than they’ve created in the past, a result of a culmination of influences from Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails to Moderat and Jon Hopkins.
Previously released singles from Surrender have already racked up almost 50 million combined streams across platforms, illustrating the excessive demand for the band’s return and anticipation for the full record. From the yearning for love and romance in Surrender’s opening track Next To Me, to the hopeful emotions portrayed in Alive, and anguished sense of On My Knees; the album demonstrates RÜFÜS DU SOL’s ability to write songs that consistently enthrall the individual just as successfully as a crowd of thousands.
RÜFÜS DU SOL’s Surrender is out now on Rose Avenue and Reprise/Warner Records. RÜFÜS DU SOL hit Perth’s Langley Park on Saturday, December 17, 2022. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, November 9 from moshtix.com.au
