The Avalanches Set 2027 Tour of Australia

The Avalanches are set to embark on a live tour of Australia in early 2027, including a performance at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt. The electronic music group, led by Robbie Chater, Tony Di Blasi and Andy Szekeres, will perform six concerts across the country from February to March. The tour is presented by Takumi and will kick off with two shows at the Perth Festival before heading to Adelaide’s Hindley St Music Hall, the group’s hometown of Melbourne for Live At The Gardens, On The Banks in Brisbane, and concluding at the iconic Sydney Opera House.

Ben Marshall, head of contemporary music at Sydney Opera House, expressed excitement about the opportunity to showcase the band's unique style and talent on such a grand stage. His statement highlights the band's significant impact on the electronic music scene over the past 25 years, citing their ability to create a 'global footprint for collaborative sampology in the 21st century.'

The tour will also feature HAAi, an Australia-born, London-based electronic music artist, who will join the Avalanches for the final three shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney. HAAi's new album, DIGITiSE, will be released on October 9 via Mute Records.

The Avalanches are currently working on their fourth studio album, No Bad Memories, which is set for release on October 16 via Modular Recordings. The band's debut album, Since I Left You, released in 2000, is considered an instant classic, with its innovative use of hundreds of songs from various artists, including Françoise Hardy, Sérgio Mendes, Raekwon, Wayne and Shuster, and Madonna, woven together into a cohesive musical patchwork.

The group's subsequent albums, Wildflower and We Will Always Love You, also achieved critical acclaim and commercial success, with No Bad Memories continuing this legacy.
