City and Colour Announces Headline Australian Dates for 2023

City and Colour, the solo project of Alexisonfire‘s Dallas Green, will play four east coast shows in February 2023, coinciding with the singer-songwriter’s appearances at the SummerSalt touring festival next year. They’ll be City and Colour’s first Australian shows since a one-off concert for Brisbane Festival in 2019. His last full Australian tour took place in 2016.

Green, joined by his full backing band, will kick off his headline run on Wednesday, 1st February at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre before heading to the Ulumbarra Theatre in Bendigo on Tuesday, 7th February. He’ll play at the Forum in Melbourne on Thursday, 9th February and wrap the tour up on Monday, 13th February at the Tivoli in Brisbane. Tickets are on sale next Wednesday, 2nd November from 1pm local time, with a Frontier Members pre-sale next Monday, 31st October.

In addition to his headline shows, Green will perform at all eight dates of next year’s SummerSalt festival, which will travel to Canberra, Wollongong, Fremantle, Hobart, the Yarra Valley, Torquay, Coffs Harbour and Southport in January and February. The lineup also includes Angus & Julia Stone, Ben Harper, The Rubens, Middle Kids and Alex the Astronaut. Tickets for that are on sale now.

A Pill for Loneliness, Green’s fourth studio album under the City and Colour moniker, arrived in 2019 after being previewed with singles ‘Astronaut, ‘Strangers’, ‘Living in Lightning’ and ‘Difficult Love’. Since then, Green has kept busy with other projects. In June, Alexisonfire released Otherness, their first album in 13 years. It followed on from the band’s 2009 album Old Crows/Young Cardinals, and marked their first album since reuniting in 2015.
