“This is happening! After a dirty year, we’re throwing these ones on the boot with love and hope. Fortunate to be joined by the country’s finest. As J. Strummer once said, the future is unwritten. We’re going to do everything in our power to make these shows happen as planned. We acknowledge these shows take place on Aboriginal land and pay our respects to elders past and present. See you in 2021, we’ve missed you 💙RBCF” – Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever
2020 saw the release of the group’s second studio album Sideways To New Italy, which debuted at #4 on the ARIA Album Chart, #1 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart, #1 on the ARIA Vinyl Album Chart and #2 on the ARIA Physical Album Chart. The album features fan favourites ‘Cars In Space’, ‘She’s There’, ‘Falling Thunder’ and ‘Cameo’ and has garnered praise by critics across the board, receiving a 4.5 star review from Sydney Morning Herald and 4 star reviews from The Guardian, Rolling Stone Australia, Q Magazine, The Music and NME Australia who declared that ‘…lyrically, Rolling Blackouts C.F have gone high-concept.’‘It’s spontaneous and heartfelt, yet no vocal line is out of place, no lead interjections cry out for attention.’ – Sydney Morning Herald
“These are songs that, on first listen, sound like recognisably RBCF-esque tracks – you think you get it. Then, sure enough, the melodies worm their way deeper into your head, you notice little nuances, and the songs prove themselves to be more enduring and bulletproof than you could’ve previously imagined.” – Stereogum
Sideways To New Italy also came in at #10 on Rough Trade’s 2020 Albums of the Year, received Rough Trade’s Album of the Month and earned the group a nomination for an AMP (Australian Music Prize) as well as a nomination for Double J Artist of the Year at this year’s J Awards.
Rolling Blackouts C.F spent the two years pre-lockdown performing at the world’s biggest music festivals, from Coachella, Governors Ball, Pitchfork Music Festival, Primavera, and Shaky Knees to Lowlands, Pukkelpop, Green Man and Splendour in the Grass, plus sold-out headline shows in London, San Diego, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Toronto, Vancouver, Philadelphia and New York City to name just a few.
Don’t miss your chance to see the group perform back on Australian stages. Tickets on sale from 10am local time on Thursday 10 December.
