Ball Park Are Releasing A New Album And Going On Tour In June

Brisbane indie band Ball Park Music have announced details of their seventh studio album, Weirder & Weirder.

The album will arrive on Friday, 3^rd June. The band shared the single ‘Sunscreen’ in late 2021. ‘Sunscreen’ landed at #21 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2021.

“For more than a year we danced and dodged, fought and flirted with this music,” the band said in a statement. “Sometimes we had focused, frenzied periods of intense work; recordings popped up like daisies every which way you looked. Other times we thawed; the soft, slow heartbeat of the process swinging us far and wide with self-doubt.”

A list of tour dates is obscured by a Word doc in the album announcement. Ball Park Music’s confirmed upcoming tour dates include the festivals Land of Plenty in Shepparton on Saturday, 9^th April; Elysian Fields in Canungra, QLD on Saturday, 30^th April; and Spin Off in Adelaide on Friday, 22nd July.

They’ve got headline dates scheduled at Bathurst’s Charles Sturt University on Friday, 25^th March (for Great Southern Nights) and Canberra’s UC Refectory on Saturday, 9^th July. The Canberra and Adelaide dates line up with those listed on the obscured tour poster.

This indicates the tour begins in Brisbane on Thursday, 2^nd June, with subsequent shows in the Gold Coast on Saturday, 4^th June; Perth on Saturday, 11^th June; Wollongong on Thursday, 16^th June; Sydney on Friday, 17^th June; Newcastle on Saturday, 18^th June; Hobart on Friday, 24th June; Darwin on Friday, 1^st July, Cairns on Saturday, 2^nd July; and Melbourne on Saturday, 16^th July.
