Two of Australia’s most celebrated indie outfits, Ball Park Music and San Cisco, are thrilled to announce their epic co-headline tour this spring. The tour in September will take them right across the country – stretching from the east coast across to Adelaide, Fremantle and Hobart.
It’s a unique east-meets-west affair that will see both bands playing some of the largest venues of both their careers. In Ball Park Music’s hometown of Brisbane they will play Riverstage, the Melbourne show is at Festival Hall, and then San Cisco’s local Fremantle Arts Centre.
Ball Park Music’s Sam Cromack says… “We’ve been dreaming of putting a tour like this together for years. Discussions between bands often get kickstarted for an idea like this, but we’re so happy to see this tour actually come to fruition. We’re absolutely buzzing to play some of the biggest venues we’ve ever tackled and to do it with San Cisco by our side is going to make for a very memorable tour!”
San Cisco’s Josh Biondillo says… “What a time to be alive! We are super excited to be joining forces with fellow Australian pop band Ball Park Music for a national tour. We first met Ball Park at one of the first festivals we ever played so it is very special to be getting back together after all these years to be playing such iconic venues with our good mates.”
The special guest for this tour is triple j Unearthed’s J Award nominee Ruby Fields who’ll be chucking on her ‘P Plates’ and bringing her relatable catchy rock to all shows. Mackay up-and-comer Tia Gostelow will be opening the festivities at the Brisbane Festival Opening Night concert held at the Riverstage.
2018 has been another bumper year for Ball Park Music. January saw their feel good hit ‘Exactly How You Are’ land at #18 on the triple j’s Hottest 100 Countdown and their critically acclaimed album GOOD MOOD debuted at #5 on ARIA charts in February. What followed was a hugely successful sold out national tour and a headline slot on Groovin’ The Moo. Last week, they released a new bizarre and erratic video for single ‘Hands Off My Body’.
San Cisco released their third album The Water in 2017 and embarked on one of their biggest tours to date – playing 21 shows in 46 days. They’ve cemented themselves as festival favourites playing Splendour In The Grass, Beyond The Valley and Lost Paradise. Their breezy summer jam ‘Hey, Did I Do You Wrong’ placed at #79 in the Hottest 100.
