The two beloved bands are joining forces on a mammoth Australian Regional tour through September and October.
In huge news for the regional touring circuit, two of Australia’s most adored and beloved bands Slowly Slowly and Stand Atlantic have announced they’re heading out on a co-headline tour for 2023.
Kicking off in Tasmania in September, the two bands will head around the country, connecting with regional fans in places like South Morang, Torquay, Wollongong, Albury, Newcastle, Mackay and more. Locally the bands will take to the Torquay Hotel on Friday, September 8.
“We’ve always been treated kindly by our regional audiences—we’re thrilled to announce we’ll be dragging our empty hearts far & wide across regional Aus for a much-needed refill of sweat, singalongs and terrible dancing,” says Slowly Slowly’s Ben Stewart.
“We’ll be alongside our new friends Stand Atlantic (soon to be family, we’re sure) who we are of course huge fans of. The countdown begins!“
