A Boy & Bear Australian Tour 2014 has been announced with the band confirming a run of dates in the country’s finest theatres.
Having recently toured the world to sold out venues across Europe, the UK, US, and Canada – sharing the results of their adventures in a photo diary while wowing audiences in America, playing Firefly Festival and Sasquatch! and named by USA Today as one of the bands touted to crack America – Boy & Bear are currently mid-way through an extensive 29-date regional tour of Australia.
Now the ARIA-scooping nu-folkies have announced another headline tour of the country, which will be their final Australian tour for 2014. The Get Up & Dance theatre tour, set to take place through September, will see Boy & Bear touring their ARIA #1 album Harlequin Dream around the country for the last time this year.
Taking in some of the nation’s biggest and most respected theatres – such as Melbourne’s Palais, Her Majesty’s in Adelaide, Brisbane’s Tivoli, The Sydney Opera House, and more – Boy & Bear couldn’t be happier about their latest jaunt.
“We’ve been on the road since February and it’s been amazing getting to play for people on the other side of the world as well as doing shows in parts of Australia that we’ve never even been before,” says keys player Jon Hart. “It feels like the right time to come home and play some theatre shows in venues that we’ve only ever dreamed of playing at… We can’t wait!”
With two full-length albums under their belt, the Sydney five-piece are armed with plenty of material for a set list that will both satisfy and electrify audiences.
Joining Boy & Bear on stage across the country will be Triple J darlings Holy Holy. Having released their debut EP, The Pacific – featured among our Top 8 Records You Might’ve Missed From March – the Melbourne/Brisbane duo’s rich harmonies and inventive yet classic songcraft is the perfect live fit for Boy & Bear.
