Glass Animals Announce Australian Tour Ahead Of Their Highly-Anticipated Fourth Album 'I Love Your So F***ing Much'
Today, Grammy-nominated, Platinum-selling British band Glass Animals announce their forthcoming Australian tour, sending heat waves across some of Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney’s most prestigious venues throughout November, with their beloved brand of alt-pop.
The announcement arrives ahead of the band’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, I Love You So F***ing Much. Due out on July 19 2024, ILYSFM is an expansive record about love in all its shapes and forms, befit with retro-futuristic production that travels in and out of the “shapelessness of love”. Fans can listen to the album’s recently released singles “A Tear In Space (Airlock)” and “Creatures in Heaven” for an early glimpse into a sublime record’s tale of 10 intimate love stories, set against the backdrop of the vast universe.
On Wednesday 20 November, the band land in Melbourne for a performance at Sidney Myer Music Bowl, before heading to Brisbane’s Riverstage on Friday 22 November. The following week, the band head to Sydney’s monumental sails for an unmissable performance on the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Tuesday 26 November.
Frontman Dave Bayley shared: "Australia. We love you so f***ing much. When we first came to tour over there, we only had like four songs. So we played them twice. And you forgave us. And then you gave us our first ever hottest 100 success with Gooey. And then you embraced Heat Waves so hard I tattooed the shape of Australia on my arse cheek. It is my only tattoo. I forget it’s there sometimes and it startles me when I get out of my bubble bath. But it makes me v happy. And I feel the same announcing this new Australian tour. The same happiness I feel when looking at my arse in the mirror. See you soon."
Earlier this year, Glass Animals announced a mammoth 44 date tour, taking the four-piece band across North America, Europe and UK, kicking off in the USA next month, and concluding at London’s 20,000-capacity The O2 Arena on 7 November. But Glass Animals wanted super fans to hear the record for the first time live, and most recently embarked on a global pop-up tour, playing a surprise show at Sydney’s Liberty Hall – an immediate sell-out – alongside locations in Mexico, Indonesia and California for an intimate taster of the record to come.
I Love You So F***ing Much is the follow-up to 2020’s critically revered Gold ARIA Accredited Dreamland, which sold over 12M copies globally and gave life to “Heat Waves”, the record-breaking song that became the biggest international hit from a British band in almost 30 years and is now x19 Platinum ARIA Accredited. It was the first song to reach #1 with a single writer and producer since Pharrell’s “Happy” and led to the pop world’s biggest acts, including Florence Welch, all wanting to work with band member Dave. Additionally, it became the first song by a British band since the Spice Girls’ “Wannabe” in 1995, to claim #1 for 5 consecutive weeks in the Billboard 100.
The four-piece were also crowned triple j’s Hottest 100 winner, with “Heat Waves” topping the Australian singles chart for six consecutive weeks and #1 on the ARIA Top 100 Singles for the year of 2021. It has achieved over 44B global streams and become the first British band to achieve #1 in the Spotify global chart, whilst holding space in the Billboard Hot 100 for longer than The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights”.
Now as promised, the band set the stage for fans to witness their live show, as one of the biggest British contemporary bands on their upcoming Australian tour. Pre-save the band’s forthcoming album, I Love You So F***king Much and join the love space odyssey by securing your ticket to one of this year’s most anticipated performances.
Preorder I Love You So F***king Much HERE by Friday 28 June at 8am AEST to get first crack at tickets via a special presale that starts on July 1.

Today, Secret Sounds is excited to reveal that Norwegian alt-pop singer, songwriter and producer AURORA is returning to Australia in February 2025, set to light up stages in Fremantle, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane with her spell-binding live performance.
The anticipated tour follows the release of AURORA’s celebrated fourth studio album, What Happened To The Heart? which dropped 7 June via Glassnote Records. The album, described by AURORA as being the “most personal and cathartic” she has ever written, features dance-heavy opus ‘Starvation’, crowd-ready anthem ‘Some Type Of Skin’ and the blissfully profound ‘Your Blood’.
A true original, AURORA has used her songs to stand up for climate change and LGBTQIA+ rights to exploring the vulnerabilities of love and embracing being yourself. Her heavenly sounds have connected with people all over the globe, with her otherworldly vocals and soaring melodies capturing hearts far and wide. She has amassed more than 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, her songs have been streamed an incredible 3.3 billion times and she’s sold over a million albums worldwide.
Since bursting into the limelight in 2015 with her debut EP Running With The Wolves, AURORA has toured the world multiple times over, been listed by Rolling Stone as one of ten new artists you should know about, collaborated with artists like The Chemical Brothers, performed at the Academy Awards and appeared as a guest on US TV shows The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Billboard even called her “One of the most fascinating people currently making music”, which was evident in her iconic interview with triple j which went viral for her incredibly candid charm and endearing eccentricities. AURORA has also racked up over 16M views of her epic triple j Like A Version cover of Massive Attack’s ‘Teardrop’, one of the most streamed songs of the series ever.
AURORA’s latest offering, What Happened To The Heart? continues this powerful trajectory. The record is a journey from weakness to strength, from self-destruction to self-healing. A poignant and introspective musical journey that explores the loss of spiritual connection in modern society, the healing power of vulnerability and the call to ignite change through reuniting the heart with politics and personal growth.
AURORA’s anticipated Australian dates are part of her What Happened To The Earth? world tour, which will see her touch hearts across Europe, the UK and North America before bringing her ethereal tones down under. Tickets to the tour will go on sale from 11am local Friday 16 August via secretsounds.com. Fans can sign up to presale access here.

Last month, Twenty One Pilots returned with news of Clancy and released the album’s lead single “Overcompensate” alongside an accompanying official music video directed by Reel Bear Media. The track, which has rocketed up the Alternative Radio chart currently sitting Top 5, made a massive impact upon launch as it welcomed listeners back to the band’s immersive world of ‘Trench.’
Clancy is currently available for pre-order in a variety of physical formats including: two limited-edition deluxe box sets, four vinyl variants with additional retailer exclusives, an exclusive CD + Journal Book and a Cassette + Photocard Wallet, and much more. For the full suite of Clancy pre-order offerings, visit Twenty One Pilots’ official store.
Having amassed over 33 billion streams worldwide and over 3 million tickets sold across global headline tours, the Columbus, OH based duo of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun have established themselves as one of the most successful bands of the 21st century and redefined the sound of a generation. Co-produced by Joseph and Paul Meany, Clancy marks the final chapter in an ambitious multi-album narrative first introduced in the band's 2015 multi-Platinum breakthrough, Blurryface. Furthermore, Clancy’s forthcoming release on May 17th coincides with the 9th anniversary of Blurryface, which was released exactly nine years prior to the day.
Twenty One Pilots extended the ambitious concept laid out in Blurryface with their 2018 Platinum-certified album TRENCH. Featuring the multi-Platinum and Platinum singles “Chlorine,” “My Blood” and the GRAMMY® Award-nominated “Jumpsuit,” the album graced spots on “Best of” year-end lists by Billboard, KERRANG!, Alternative Press, and Rock Sound—who placed it at #1.
The duo’s 2021 RIAA Gold certified epic Scaled And Icy debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top “Rock Albums” and “Alternative Albums” charts while landing at No. 3 on the “Billboard 200,” marking the biggest opening week for a rock album in 2021. The record is highlighted by the #1 Alternative Radio hits “The Outside,” “Saturday,” and “Shy Away,” the latter of which ascended to #1 at the format in just three weeks, placing the duo in an elite group of acts with multiple songs to rise to #1 at the format in three weeks or less including: U2, R.E.M., The Cure, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Foo Fighters.

Today, Cigarettes After Sex announce their new LP, titled X’s (due July 12), alongside their upcoming world tour, which includes Australia & New Zealand dates in March 2025 and features shows at some of the globe's most iconic venues, like Madison Square Garden and London's O2 Arena.
Filled with raw, imagistic, sometimes smutty vignettes set to entrancing, slow burn pop songs, bandleader Greg Gonzalez captures every emotion a romantic arc inspires. But where previous albums have drawn from an amalgam of relationships, for the most part, X’s centralizes on just one relationship that spanned four years.
“The record feels brutal,” admits Gonzalez. “I could sit and talk about this loss to someone, but that wouldn’t scratch the surface. I have to really write about it, sing about it, have the music, and then I can start to analyze and learn from it. Or just relive it—in a good way. I don’t have that Eternal Sunshine-thing of wanting to forget.”
While continuing to observe classic pop song structures, Gonzalez has moved away from the prior sonic touchstones of the ‘50s and ‘60s, finding himself now drawn to a ‘70s/’80s slow dance. While (in typical Cigarettes style) these changes may be subtle, the overall resulting energy is akin to disco ball-refracted tears on the dance floor.
Today also marks the release of the record's first single, ‘Tejano Blue’, a nod to the music of bandleader Greg Gonzalez’s Texas childhood, resulting in the most instantly memorable version (and liveliest tempo) yet of the band’s signature sensual, timeless, love songs.
Gonzalez explains: “I grew up in El Paso & Tejano music is huge there. You could go to a lot of the bars in the city & hear artists like Selena, Los Ángeles Azules & La Mafia playing over the speakers. It was in the atmosphere around me back then, but I always rejected it & gravitated towards anything else I was attracted to really.
“Years later when I was living in New York City I finally started listening to Selena’s ‘Como La Flor’ at the same time that I was also listening to a lot of Cocteau Twins. I had the idea then to try to combine both of their sounds somehow, which felt a bit strange, but also felt like it was coming from a genuine place of rediscovering & finally connecting with the music that I heard around me in my youth.”
‘Tejano Blue’ is available now, and Cigarettes After Sex’s new LP, X’s, is out July 12th via Partisan Records / Liberator Music.
Cigarettes After Sex will bring their live show to Australia & New Zealand in March 2025. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday, March 8 at 10am local time at cigarettesaftersex.com.

Following the unprecedented demand for tickets to Coldplay’s record-breaking Music Of The Spheres World Tour during the pre-sale period, the band has announced additional stadium concerts as part of their upcoming Australia and New Zealand 2024 tour.
Coldplay will now perform four shows at Accor Stadium, Sydney and Marvel Stadium, Melbourne and three shows at Eden Park in Auckland, breaking the all-time record as the first artist to play three nights in the venue’s one hundred and twenty-three year history.

The general sale for all shows commences on Friday, 1st December at 10am local time.
Since the first Music Of The Spheres World Tour date in March 2022, the band have sold over 9 million tickets - the most for any tour in history. The tour has also received rave reviews from fans and critics alike, picking up accolades including Favorite Touring Artist at the 2022 AMAs and Tour of The Year at the 2023 iHeartRadio Awards.
The band recently issued an update on the tour’s sustainability initiatives, revealing that, on a show-by-show comparison, their current tour has so far produced 47% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, and that more than 7 million trees have already been planted around the world (with one being planted for each concert goer).
This month, Coldplay were named in TIME Magazine’s inaugural TIME100 Climate, a new list of the world's most influential leaders driving real climate action.
