Amyl and The Sniffers extend Australian ‘Comfort To Me’ tour, including new U18 Melbourne gig

Amyl and The Sniffers have extended their national Comfort To Me Tour to meet demand.

Ahead of hitting the stage at Glastonbury Festival this weekend, homecoming heroes Amyl and The Sniffers extend their national Comfort To Me Tour to meet some serious demand.

Shows in Brisbane, Castlemaine, Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne are now sold out, with a second date added at Melbourne’s Forum on July 19 and a strictly under 18’s show announced at Colour on August 14. Fans in Frankston can catch the band at Pier Bandroom on August 4.

Alongside the new shows, the Sniffers also welcome the four-piece hard rock & roll band Children of Finland Fighting in Norway (C.O.F.F.I.N) to the bill.

Hailing from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, C.O.F.F.I.N have gained a passionate following for their unique take on punk and rock music, gathering widespread acclaim for their energetic and addictive live shows combined with their lyrical activism and howling guitars. It’s not the first time the bands have buddied up, with C.O.F.F.I.N having also joined Amyl and The Sniffers on their six-week US Tour that wrapped up last month.

The tour comes in support of the critically-acclaimed album Comfort To Me released in September 2021.

Co-produced with Dan Luscombe(The Drones) and mixed by Nick Launay (Nick Cave, IDLES), the album signalled a gear shift for the Sniffers, where love and hate, spit and sweat, beer and politics collide in 45 propulsive and iconic minutes.

Comfort To Me debuted at #2 on the ARIA Charts and hit the Top 25 album charts in the UK, Germany, Spain and the US, driving a surge in Amyl fandom around the world. By the time they head home to AUS, the band will have played prime time slots at Coachella, Primavera and Glastonbury. Check out their recent US television debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Following their support for Foo Fighters in Geelong (March) and Liam Gallagher at his historic 120,000 capacity return to Knebworth over the weekend, the band joins Green Day on their European tour June–July, playing to hundreds of thousands of new fans.

The Sniffers’ homecoming tour also includes Splendour in the Grass (NSW), Blacken Festival (NT) and Winterwild (VIC).
