The Vaccines and Everything Everything have announced that they will simultaneously return to Australia on their first-ever co-headlining tour, taking in five capital-city shows throughout May 2024. The former will be touring Australia for the first time in nearly five years, while the latter will return for the first time in nearly six.
Each band is touring in support of new albums for 2024. The Vaccines released their sixth studio album, Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations, last month. It featured singles such as ‘Heartbreak Kid’, ‘Sometimes, I Swear’, ‘Lunar Eclipse’ and ‘Love to Walk Away’. Everything Everything, meanwhile, are gearing up to release their seventh album Mountainhead at the start of next month. Its release has already been flanked by singles ‘Cold Reactor’, ‘The Mad Stone’ and ‘The End of the Contender’.
The Vaccines – ‘Lunar Eclipse’
A pre-sale for the tour will commence from 9am local time on Tuesday February 13th via the tour promoter, Destroy All Lines. A general sale will then follow on Thursday February 15th – again at 9am local time. A full list of dates, venues, cities and ticketing information can be found below.
Since The Vaccines were last in Australia, they have released the 2021 album Back in Love City as well as two EPs – 2021’s Cosy Karaoke Vol. 1 and 2022’s Planet of The Youth. They have also released a greatest-hits compilation, simply titled The Hits, which came out in August 2021. The band recently toured through the UK in support of Pick-Up, joined by Australian band Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers.
As for Everything Everything, the Mancunian indie-rock quartet have released two studio albums since they last toured the country: 2020’s Re-Animator and 2022’s Raw Data Feel. They also released an EP, entitled Supernormal, in June of 2021. Bassist Jeremy Pritchard also spent several years on and off the road with Foals, sitting in as their touring bassist before original bassist Walter Gervers returned in 2023.
