Old Mervs’ 2025 is about to heat up, with the Perth outfit today announcing a massive national tour and dropping a new single from their forthcoming album. Phew.
The announcement of this tour comes with the release of Everyone Will See It, which has given us a taste of their self-titled debut album.
Written with ARIA award-winning producer Chris Collins, the album features other vibrant tracks such as Parched, What You’ve Lost, Forget It, See You Again.
Singer and guitarist Dave House and drummer Henry Carrington-Jones unpacked the new single. They said, “It was the first song we wrote together with Chris Collins. We had some spare time at the end of the week’s recording and decided to see what we could come up with.
“It feels fresh for us, I think, and it definitely has a different groove, which is always a nice change-up. We wanted a big chorus for a big sing-a-long, so hopefully that’s what we get!”

The pair will begin in Aukland, Wellington and Christchurch before heading back to Australia for Adelaide and the East Coast, jumping around Sydney, Canberra, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Mackay, Cairns, Barwon Heads, Melbourne and other cities. The duo will be closing the tour with a massive home-state show at Perth HPC with a line-up of special guests handpicked by House and Carrington-Jones. All tour dates are listed below.

This massive string of dates follows a huge year of touring for Old Mervs in 2024. Last year, the boys went regional with their Comin’ To A Town Near You Tour as well as their How The Fark Are Ya? Tour of Australia and NZ. In November, the band embarked on their first UK headline tour, selling out venues in London, Manchester and Birmingham.
Old Mervs kicked 2025 off strong, placing at 38 in the triple j Hottest 100 with What You’ve Lost and placing 105th and 128th in the Hottest 200 with Parched and Forget It.
Capturing members of the industry and fans alike with their smooth and sunny sound, the duo have a string of headline tours lined up, having also supported some major tours, including Liam Gallagher, The Wombats, Spacey Jane and King Stingray. Old Mervs have played slots at Groovin the Moo, Yours and Owls, Splendour in the Grass, Rolling Sets, and Changing Tides, proving them to be a festival favourite.
