Commencing a 13-date national run on Saturday 31 August in Adelaide, Diesel’s Bootleg Melancholy Album Tour will also journey through Melbourne, Warragul, Hobart, Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Batemans Bay, Canberra, Perth and Darwin, with proceedings drawing to a close on Friday 13 December in Caloundra.

Accompanying Diesel’s tour excitement is the addition of a brand new music video for ‘Remember My Love‘, the modern swoon closing out 2023’s Bootleg Melancholy. As shot by his daughter Lily Lizotte, the music video captures the height of the single.

“The music video for ‘Remember My Love’ was shot by my daughter Lily Lizotte and edited by Blake Fraser, who worked on the multi-award-winning Patricia Moore series,” shares Diesel. “For the video, I thought it would be a good fit to return to where I remember writing most of the song, which is down by the nearby ports where I spend a lot of time decompressing. With a wide open horizon leading west, the sunsets are always vivid.”

The upcoming tour is a chance to see ‘Remember My Love’ along with Bootleg Melancholy in the live setting, where Diesel thrives. The multi-ARIA number one and 6 x ARIA-award winning artist is just as energetic and enthusiastic as he was on his debut album.
