Aussie rock mainstays The Living End are heading back on the road this winter, announcing a run of regional dates across the east coast kicking off at the end of July.
There will be one Victorian show as part of the tour, at the Civic Hall in Ballarat on 8 August.
The shows come in support of the band’s latest album I Only Trust Rock n Roll, their first in eight years, released in September. Alongside new material, fans can expect a setlist stacked with long-time favourites including White Noise, Roll On, Who’s Gonna Save Us, All Torn Down, Second Solution and Prisoner of Society.
Frontman Chris Cheney said of the forthcoming shows, “The hunger we had when The Living End first began still drives our energy on stage every time we play. The songs from our latest album ‘I Only Trust Rock n Roll’ hit as hard as any of our older songs. Our gig philosophy is pretty simple: blow the fricken doors off! See you at the show.”
The new record marks a shift in approach for the band, focusing on a tighter, more stripped-back sound after experimenting with more layered production in previous releases.
With a reputation for high-energy live shows and a catalogue spanning decades, the upcoming run is set to bring The Living End’s signature sound back to stages across regional Australia.
Pre-sale tickets for the tour go live on Wednesday 6 May at 9 am local time, with general public tickets available from Thursday 7 May at 9 am. Ticketing information is available at facetofacetouring.com.au.
