With just under two months until the release of Slowly Slowly’s new album, Forgiving Spree, the Naarm/Melbourne outfit have unveiled a run of national tour dates to celebrate its arrival.

Taking place throughout April 2025, the upcoming dates will see Slowly Slowly performing at Perth's Astor Theatre, Adelaide's Hindley Street Music Hall, Brisbane's Fortitude Music Hall, and Sydney's Enmore Theatre, before capping it off with a hometown show at Melbourne's Margaret Court Arena.

The tour will also see them joined by Los Angeles pop rock outfit Honey Revenge for east coast shows and Philadelphia pop punks Grayscale for all dates. The tour will be the first Australian trek for both of the US bands.

"It’s been a while between drinks – we couldn’t be more ecstatic to announce this homecoming tour,” said Slowly Slowly’s Ben Stewart. “These are some serious rooms and we couldn’t think of a better way to drop punt our new album Forgiving Spree off into the stratosphere.

“We are intent on making these shows feel both like huge spectacles, but also intensely intimate – join us for our biggest headlines to date, across our beloved home country after almost 18 months of time away. We can’t wait to see you.

“Also, the icing on the cake is that we get to hang with our friends in Honey Revenge and soon to be new best buds Grayscale,” he added. “Who would have thought a little band from Melbourne Aus could bring an international bill together? Not us haha. We'll have our work cut out for us keeping up with the immense talent on the stages each night."

Slowly Slowly have been getting ready to release Forgiving Spree for some time now, having spent the last year celebrating a bunch of wins.

Following the release of Ben Stewart’s Pushing Daylight album in April, the band began teasing their long-awaited fifth album with the arrival of Gimme The Wrench in June. A handful of other singles, such as All Time, Forgiving Spree, and Love Letters have also followed as previews of their upcoming album, which arrives on January 24th, 2025.

Pre-sale tickets for Slowly Slowly's upcoming tour go on sale from 9am local time on Wednesday, November 20th, with general tickets on sale from 9am local time on Friday, November 22nd. New album Forgiving Spree is released on January 24th, with pre-orders and pre-saves available now.
