Peach Pit Announce 2025 Australian Tour

Canadian indie-rock group Peach Pit are returning to Australia in February/March 2025, coming back to our shores after playing at Yours & Owls 2023 as well as their first-ever tour down under.

The Vancouver-based four-piece, set to release their new album, Magpie, next month (Friday, 25 October via Columbia Records), will bring the Magpie Tour to Australia and New Zealand for five exclusive shows.

The tour begins at Perth’s Freo.Social on Friday, 28 February, followed by dates at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall (Sunday, 2 March), Melbourne’s Forum (Wednesday, 5 March), Sydney’s Enmore Theatre (Friday, 7 March), and ends at Auckland’s Powerstation on Sunday, 9 March.

Frontier Members can access pre-sale tickets on Thursday, 26 September, from 11 am local time via the Frontier Touring website. The general sale opens on Monday, 30 September, from 11 am local time – you can find more ticketing information here.

Inspiration for the band’s new album was born in Melbourne.

Magpie, the follow-up to 2022’s From 2 To 3, wasn’t an easy journey for the band.

“We wanted to go into the studio with a bunch of songs that we’d flesh out and write on the fly,” vocalist Neil Smith explained in a press release. “We’d done that a bunch of times before
for singles here and there, so we were like, ‘Let’s try making a record that way’.”

After studio sessions in Vancouver didn’t work out, however, Peach Pit were stuck, with Smith recalling: “At a certain point, we were like, “Damn, this isn't really working for us.”

Peach Pit then took a break and spent time in Melbourne while they were here on their debut tour last year.

“I was struck by how magpies are seen as both good and bad omens,” Smith explained.

Inspired by the duality of the bird and personal experiences, he added, “The album reflects those highs and lows, from heartbreak to new love.”
