Taking Back Sunday Set To Tour Australia In 2017

In support of their forthcoming seventh studio album, Tidal Wave, US punk-rock outfit Taking Back Sunday have announced they'll be heading to Australia in 2017 for a massive headline tour. 

The new LP comes on the back of their 2014 record Happiness Is, which blitzed through a number of US music charts. 

"We could come up with an idea, perform it and then listen back to it immediately instead of feeling boxed in by what we did on demos," the band said of Tidal Wave.

"We really can’t wait for you to hear it. Everyone is working hard to categorize where this music fits and all we can say is we wrote from the heart and did the best work we could."

Kicking off the tour in Sydney next March, Taking Back Sunday will move on to play shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. 

To make these shows even better for fans, announced as the very special guest for the Australian tour is fellow American band Acceptance who will be performing in the country for the very first time. 

Having reunited just last year, the emo/pop-punkers are already working on a new album and the upcoming shows could give fans the first chance to see the new material live. 

Tickets go on sale from 9am on Thursday, 25 August.

Tidal Wave is available from Friday, 16 September via Hopeless Records/UNFD.
