The summer shows in Australia add onto their already packed touring schedule as the band are currently on tour across the United States, following on from finishing a run through Europe & the UK. The US tour leg wraps up in mid-October before they head to Mexico City for Corona Capital, then onto Australia.

With a catalogue that spans two decades and five acclaimed albums – including Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes (2004), Return to Cookie Mountain (2006), Dear Science (2008), Nine Types of Light (2011) and Seeds (2014) – TVOTR carved a singular path through indie music. Formed in 2001 as a serendipitous project between vocalist/programmer Tunde Adebimpe and multi-instrumentalist Dave Sitek, who both lived in the same building in Williamsburg, the band’s 23-year run marks them as one of the most influential and uncompromising groups of the 21st century. TVOTR’s live reemergence sees members Adebimpe, Kyp Malone, and Jaleel Bunton performing select dates across the globe in 2025, including a revered set at this year’s Glastonbury.

Songs such as ‘Wolf Like Me’, ‘Happy Idiot’ and ‘Staring At The Sun’ broke through to become the biggest influential hits of the indie rock rise on the early 2000’s, giving the band star-power alongside The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s and LCD Soundsystem. Celebrated for their boundary-pushing sound and emotional depth, from glitchy DIY beginnings to full-blown grandeur TVOTR has consistently challenged genre conventions while creating music that feels as intimate as it is explosive. A decade since they were last in Australia, these upcoming dates offer fans a rare chance to witness one of America’s most inventive bands in full flight once more.

Frontier Members can access presale tickets from Monday 25 August (11am local time). Tickets go on sale to the general public from Wednesday 27 August (11am local time). For full tour and ticket information head here.
