Grinspoon have announced an Australian tour this Summer, after almost a year off touring. The tour will start off in Forster on the 27th of December and proceed to Victoria, ending in Melbourne on the 8th of January.
During their time off, Grinspoon have been busily writing their new album and in this time they also scored 3 albums in triple j’s hottest 100 albums of all time with A Guide To Better Living coming in at Number 12.
Joining Grinspoon on the road will be Melbourne band Redcoats.
In March, Redcoats released their debut single Dreamshaker, which was added to the triple j playlist. The week after the release of their debut single, Redcoats headed out to tour nationally with legend rockers Stone Temple Pilots. Their self titled EP came out in July this year, and they have since landed a support slot for Calling All Cars’ Australian tour and been invited to play festivals such as Stonefest, Big Sound and Fat As Butter, to name a few.
