US trio LANY announce Australian tour in 2022 

They'll perform a Melbourne show at Margaret Court Arena on May 27 2022.

LA’s finest purveyors of intergenerational alternative music LANY return to Australia in May 2022 for shows in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, joined by special guest Sasha Alex Sloan.

With three sold-out Australian tours already to their credit and a bunch of new songs on their setlist, the May 2022 dates will be their biggest Australian shows yet and follow a massive 2021 North American Headline Tour, which included sold-out iconic venues like The Forum in LA, Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City and Radio City Music Hall in New York. The tour garnered widespread acclaim and a 2022 Pollstar Awards “Best Pop Tour” nomination alongside peers Harry Styles, The Jonas Brothers and BTS.

The trio will kick off the tour at HBF Stadium, Perth on Friday 20 May, and visit Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide, Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne on Friday 27 May, before finishing up at Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Sunday 29 May.

Fronted by songwriter, lyricist and producer Paul Klein, LANY’s breakthrough came with their 2017 self-titled debut, which built an international fanbase and led to sold-out arenas across the world.

The heartbreak anthems on their 2018 follow-up Malibu Nights cracked the Billboard Album Chart and connected in a huge way across the globe, with their 2019 collaboration with Lauv, ‘Mean It’, and 2021 collaboration with Kelsea Ballerini ‘I Quit Drinking’ garnering further attention. The third studio album, mama’s boy debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the Alternative Albums sales chart with more than 300 million streams to date, and single if this is the last time earning LANY their biggest radio hit to date.

The band’s fourth album gg bb xx is a change of gear, towards what principal songwriter Klein calls micro-moments: those flashes we experience that come and go in the blink of an eye. Fleeting moments in love and life that it’d be easy to miss if we didn’t grab hold of them there and then. gg bb xx finds LANY returning to their infectious pop sound, collaborating with an array of notable songwriters and producers including Andrew Goldstein (Maroon 5, Katy Perry, Lauv), John Ryan (Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth, Harry Styles), David Hodges (Ed Sheeran, 5SOS, Blink 182), Tobias Jesso Jr. (Adele, Sia, HAIM), Dan Smyers of Dan + Shay and more.

Presale tickets for the tour are available from 9am local on Thursday 9 December. Jump on tickets fast and get ready to catch LANY’s synth-sheened anthems of love and heartbreak when they hit our shores in 2022!
