Royel Otis Add Extra Shows To 2025 Australian Tour

Royel Otis are coming home this October, and it seems that their homegrown fans can’t get enough.

Announced last week, the Australian duo will bring their meet me in the car tour to Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth. Due to extraordinary demand, the Brisbane and Sydney dates have already sold out, leading to the addition of new shows in both cities.

The new shows will take place at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Tuesday, 21 October, and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Saturday, 25 October. Tickets for the newly announced shows will be available today at 12:00 p.m. AEST via the Frontier Touring website. Tickets for all other shows are now available.

Royel Otis are touring in support of their forthcoming album, hickey, which will be released on Friday, 22 August, via OURNESS/Capitol Records. The record was announced in late June, along with the jangly new single, car.

As to the album’s title, Royel Otis quipped that it’s “naughty and romantic all at the same time. Because love bites harder than any other emotion in the world.”

Continuing to address fans, Royel Maddell said of their forthcoming tour dates, “We just want to make people dance together. Everyone’s invited.”

Their new album is the follow-up to their successful debut, Pratts & Pain, which was released last February.

Since then, the Australian indie pop outfit has continuously toured in Australia and across the globe, gone viral with covers of The Cranberries’ Linger and Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder On The Dancefloor, and dropped the single moody in May. They’re only going to continue with their upward trajectory – you won’t want to miss the meet me in the car tour this October.
