Following the announcement of their highly anticipated sophomore album SONS and the release of its stirring first single “Rescue Me,” Australian indie folk band Sons Of The East have unveiled their third world tour—one that sees them stepping up to bigger venues and larger crowds than ever before. Spanning North America, Europe, the UK, and beyond, the tour will bring their engaging live show to audiences worldwide in support of SONS, out June 13 via MGM (Metropolitan Groove Merchants).
With over 700 million streams, 75 million YouTube views, and more than 100,000 headline tickets sold—all as a fully independent band—Sons Of The East have earned a reputation for unforgettable performances, drawing in fans from around the world. Known for their raucous, communal energy on stage, Jack Rollins (vocals, guitar), Nic Johnston (vocals, keys), and Dan Wallage (guitar, banjo) have earned a reputation for unforgettable performances, with their last global run even catching the attention of some high-profile fans. Bill Murray endorsed them in an Instagram video and when asked how it came about, Sons Of The East manager Bryon Jones stated to The Music, “He’s a genuine fan. He came to a tiny show in North Carolina last year and said hi to the band, and they hung out. Then he turned up to the sold-out Boston show last week and asked for some guitar tips from Jack, so he got them in exchange for the video!”
In London, Emma Thompson caught their sold-out show at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire—one of many capacity gigs the band has played worldwide, from The Troubadour in LA to Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York and Sala Apolo in Barcelona. Their next tour promises to be even bigger as they graduate to significantly larger rooms across multiple continents. While Jack Rollins, Nic Johnston, and Dan Wallage remain the heart of the band, their live performances feature a full band, adding even more energy and depth to their dynamic show.
Since their breakthrough, Sons Of The East have captivated a worldwide audience with their seamless fusion of folk, blues, and soul. Their 2022 debut album Palomar Parade (now nearing 100 million streams) set the stage for their meteoric rise, with tracks that resonated far beyond their roots in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Now, SONS marks the next thrilling chapter, crafted between relentless touring and intimate sessions at their Sydney studio.
