Now here’s a tour that you’ll have absolutely no worries about missing – The Rubens have just dropped the dates for a bloody enormous Aussie tour, hitting 27 shows across literally every state and territory.
I know we throw around the words “massive”, “hefty”, and “bloody ‘yuge” a bit, but this is genuinely a whopper of a tour. The boys will be on the road around the country from mid-May to mid-July, really putting in some serious time to try and visit every corner of their homeland. They’ll be bringing along Alice Ivy for the big trip as well, so these are gonna be some fun shows, I tell ya what.
Kicking off in Bundaberg, QLD on May 14, The Rubens will take the tour down the coast a bit, before ducking over to South Australia, up to the NT, down to Tassie, up to NSW, through Victoria, stop off the Hume for a cheeky date in the ACT, another climb up QLD, before winding things up over in Western Australia.
Honestly, I’m wrecked just thinking about how involved this massive road trip is going to be.
If you wanna catch the lads from Sydney’s south-west (seriously, it’s not going to be hard at this rate), you’ve literally got a whole bevvy of shows to pick from. Whether you wanna make a holiday of it and roadtrip to Alice Springs, Margaret River, or Shepparton, or you just wanna pop to your local, you’re really spoilt for choice here.
Hell, The Rubens could really extend their tour here and chuck in some impromptu spots at open mic nights or the odd Sunday arvo pub gig. Really make it a deeply Aussie tour. Go on.
Tickets for The Rubens’ hefty tour go on sale from 8am AEDT on Thursday 5 March from their website, so take your pick from the dates below, wrangle the group chat, and lock it in, Eddie.
