It’s been a long morning already for Midnight Oil fans in Australia who’ve been keeping their attention trained to the band’s Facebook page, but finally, the wait is over. Through a conference broadcast online from Sydney, the iconic Aussie group broke the news that they would be back on tour around the world for the first time in 15 years, this year.
Along with the tour dates, Midnight Oil will also be releasing three archival box sets, including a collection of music entitled The Overflow Tank, containing more than 14 hours of previously unreleased and rare material. The Boxset Collection is now available for pre-order ahead of its May 5th release, here.
The Australian tour, taking place over October and November, will be like a celebration of quintessentially Australian music, with supports including Dan Sultan, Something For Kate, Bad//Dreems, Spiderbait, Urthboy and The Living End all coming on board to celebrate what is going to be an unmissable return from one of the greats.
Frontier Members will have access to a special pre-sale via Frontier Touring from February 23rd through until February 24th. Fans who have signed up to the Midnight Oil pre-sale will have access from the same dates, though the times are staggered (see more info below) All tickets will be on sale from February 27th.
