For the East Coast shows, Ocean Alley will be joined by special guests Nothing But Thieves and Rainbow Kitten Surprise, while Ruby Fields will open all shows, and Skegss and smol fish will appear in WA.

Multiple pre-sale options are available for the upcoming tour. The Mastercard and Artist pre-sale options will run concurrently from Wednesday, 18 June, at 9 am until Friday, 20 June, at 9 am AEST.

Ocean Alley’s fifth album, Love Balloon, arrives on Friday, 19 September, via Community Music. You can pre-order the album here.

Keyboardist and vocalist Lach Galbraith said, “The album explores the many layered dimensions of love - not just the cinematic kind where you're falling head over heels, but the full spectrum: joy, hurt, discomfort and disappointment.

“Let’s call it the river of love - whether it’s with a partner, a friend, or family, you never know when it’ll get deep, go shallow, or suddenly change course. It’s such a force that you have to just surrender to its current.”
