alt-J's The Dream Tour and An Awesome Wave 10th anniversary album shows rescheduled to April-May 2023.
“Due to the new and evolving logistical challenges of touring in a post pandemic world, we have sadly, after much debate, been forced to reschedule the Australian & New Zealand leg of The Dream tour to 2023,” say alt-J. They were originally set to perform in September this year, but their Melbourne show has been rescheduled to May 2 and 3.

alt-J are one of the most successful British bands of the millennium. Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Sonny Green have released four studio albums that, between them, have sold in excess of two million copies and their songs have been streamed over two and a half billion times. Their 2012 Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Award-winning debut An Awesome Wave, was followed two years later by their number one, GRAMMY and BRIT Award-nominated album This Is All Yours. Released in 2017, RELAXER flew straight into the top 10 of the UK albums chart ahead of a summer of major international shows – including a headline show at London’s O2 Arena and headline performances at numerous festivals – and became their second album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize.
In Australia, all four of alt-J’s albums have debuted in the ARIA top ten – An Awesome Wave (#9 peak), This Is All Yours (#2 peak), RELAXER (#4 peak) and The Dream (#6 peak).
An Awesome Wave (2022 reissue) is available on white vinyl and other formats (via Liberator Music here).
