Lime Cordiale have announced an eight-date Australian tour, billed as one of the few opportunities to see Lime Cordiale play a headline show in Australia this year. The Fantastical Country Club Experience will begin with a pair of shows in Dee Why in March before stops in Wollongong and Albury that month.
In April, the band will play shows in Frankston, the Sunshine Coast and Port Macquarie before the tour wraps up on Saturday, 15th April in Rooty Hill, NSW. They’ll be joined by indie pop solo artist Aleksiah for the whole tour, with Bella Amor and New Zealand band Coterie performing on select dates. See dates and venues below – tickets will go on sale this Thursday (2nd February) at 10am AEDT.
Lime Cordiale – ‘Colin’
The announcement follows a busy 2022 for the band, which saw them embark on headline tours at home and abroad and make multiple festival appearances. The band also teamed up with actor and musician Idris Elba for their debut collaborative EP, Cordi Elba.
Lime Cordiale released a handful of standalone singles in the course of 2022, including ‘Facts of Life’ and ‘Country Club’. The most recent, ‘Colin’, arrived in November and featured Colin Hay of Men at Work. “It’s not about Colin but he started the creation of this song, so we asked him to finish it by singing the final chorus,” the band’s Oli Leimbach explained.
The band enjoyed success in triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2022, with four songs placing in the countdown. Highest among those was ‘Facts of Life’ at number 15.
