Ocean Alley will warm up for their headline shows with an appearance at Wanderer Festival in Pambula, on the far north coast of New South Wales. That’s set to take place from Friday, 29th September to Sunday, 1st October, and will also feature the likes of Django Django, The Jungle Giants, Thelma Plum, Spiderbait, Kevin Morby and more.
Ocean Alley released their fourth studio album, Low Altitude Living, in October last year. The follow-up to 2020’s Lonely Diamond was previewed with the singles ‘Deepest Darkness’ and ‘Home’. When announcing the album last year, keyboardist Lach Galbraith said the band’s songwriting had “become more intricate” as they explored new styles on the record. “Pushing each other to try new things, inside and outside of music, is really important for us to keep things fresh.”
Winston Surfshit are currently at the tail end of their own headline tour, having spent much of May playing shows in support of their 2022 album Panna Cotta. That tour will wrap up early next month with a show at Brisbane’s Princess Theatre.
