The inaugural tour will snake its way up the spine of Australia with five bands, their camping gear, some backline and an old bus.
Kicking off in Hobart and ending in Darwin, the bands will play fifteen shows along the way. The tour will spread the love amongst Australia’s regional and rural communities, hitting the likes of Burnie, Castlemaine, Mount Gambier, Port Augusta, Coober Pedy, Alice Springs and Tennant Creek, as well as more conventional tour stops such as Adelaide, Warrnambool, Launceston, Melbourne and Darwin.
Along for the ride are ScotDrakula, Scott and Charlene’s Wedding, Ali E, and Ben Wright Smith, and Jack Jo & friends (featuring tour co-creator and Pretty Littles’ front man Jack Parsons and Big Scary drummer Jo Syme, with a local support from each town joining the mix.
Recognising the need to support music development in regional areas, the entire tour team will present a series of music development workshops for communities in Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia and the Northern Territory. These workshops will look to inspire youth to pick up an instrument, learn about songwriting and the different opportunities that exist in a career in the music industry.
