Sydney cult heroes Johnny Hunter have today announced their first national headline tour, which will see them play nine dates around the country in July. The shows will celebrate the release of the four-piece’s highly-anticipated debut album Want, out 24 June via Cooking Vinyl Australia.
Renowned for their raucous performance style, Johnny Hunter will kick off the Want tour on the Gold Coast at Vinnies Dive on Friday 1 July, before making their way down the East Coast via Brisbane and Newcastle. The post-punk powerhouses will settle in for a hometown gig at Sydney’s beloved Oxford Art Factory, before touching down in Adelaide for the first time. They’ll continue with stops in Melbourne and Perth before wrapping up in Hobart – another first appearance. The tour comes off-the-back of the band’s double residency, which saw them fill Sydney’s Botany View Hotel and Melbourne’s Old Bar twice a week throughout March.
