Indie Rock Sensation Soccer Mommy To Tour Australia In February 2023

Indie rock singer-songwriter Sophie Allison (Soccer Mommy) will return to Australia for the first time in four years in February 2023.

The Nashville-based artist last played headline shows in Australia in 2019 and travelled the country as part of Falls Festival. 

Since releasing her debut bedroom-pop album, Clean, in 2018, Allison has toured alongside Paramore, Phoebe Bridgers, Vampire Weekend, Kacey Musgraves and more. While she's here next year, she will perform at Perth Festival on Thursday, 23 February.

Allison will host her fans in Brisbane on Friday, 17 February, at The Triffid before stopping in Melbourne on Saturday, 18 February, to play at The Croxton Bandroom. From there, Allison heads to The Factory Theatre in Sydney on Tuesday, 21 February and concludes her tour in Adelaide on Wednesday, 22 February, at Fat Controller. 

"So excited to be returning to Australia! It’s been a while, but we’ve got lots of new songs to play for you guys 😵 see u soon! 🧡 " she wrote on Instagram.

Soccer Mommy has released two albums since she last appeared in Australia: 2020's color theory and her June 2022 record, Sometimes, Forever.

Sometimes, Forever was produced by Daniel Lopatin/Oneohtrix Point Never (The Weeknd, FKA Twigs, Charli XCX) and topped the US Heatseekers Albums Chart and peaked at #7 on the ARIA Hitseekers Albums Chart.

The album is far less straightforward indie rock with its subtle leanings into synth-filled genres such as goth and new wave music. The weightless newdemo spins delicately layered harmonies and mystical synths, while the glitchy and twisted Unholy Affliction is terrifying.

Color theory similarly topped the US Heatseekers Album Chart and featured the acclaimed grungy singles bloodstream, circle the drain and yellow is the color of her eyes.

Tickets will be sold through Frontier Touring; the members' pre-sale will run for 24 hours on Monday, 7 November (12noon local time) or until allocation is exhausted. The general public tickets go on sale on Wednesday, 9 November at 12noon local time. All shows are 18+.
