Ocean Alley have added two more shows to their highly-anticipated headline run later this year, after selling out in both Perth and Brisbane. The new dates will be their second and final show in each city, taking over Red Hill Auditorium on Sunday 22 October and Riverstage on Thursday 9 November. Their only show at Melbourne’s John Cain Arena has also sold out.
The fresh announcements that Ocean Alley will replace Lewis Capaldi at Splendour In The Grass later this month, as well as featuring on the Spilt Milk lineup and Wollongong’s Yours & Owls, follow huge local festival slots earlier in the year such as Falls Festival, Groovin’ The Moo and BASSINTHEGRASS – Ocean Alley staking their claim as one of our country’s most beloved homegrown groups, as well as one of Australia’s hottest exports.

The band have taken the world by storm with their dynamic live performances, growing to become one of Australia’s hottest exports. Their return to the live stage later this year is in support of their latest full-length Low Altitude Living (2022) and will follow a massive run of touring abroad, with 33 dates across the UK, Europe and North America between June and September. It also comes off-the-back of huge local festival slots in the past 6 months, including Falls Festival, Groovin’ The Moo and BASSINTHEGRASS.
Low Altitude Living features hits ‘Touch Back Down’ – which was nominated for Most Performed Alternative Work at APRA Music Awards of 2023 – ‘Deepest Darkness’ and ‘West Coast’ just to name a few album highlights.

The band have achieved 1x Double Platinum and 5x Gold-certified singles across Australia and New Zealand – including their triple j Like A Version cover of ‘Baby Come Back’ which has surpassed 5.5 million YouTube plays and 35 million streams – as well as Gold certification for ‘Chiaroscuro’, amounting to more than 620 million catalogue streams and 1.4 million monthly Spotify listeners.
