'Take Me Out': Franz Ferdinand Plot 2025 Australian Tour

Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand are returning to Australia this November and December.

Their first tour Down Under in seven years, Franz Ferdinand are touring in support of their sixth album, The Human Fear, released in January.

A multi-platinum-selling act known for their monumental hits Take Me Out, Walk Away, Michael, This Fire, and Night And Day, formed in 2002, they have garnered multiple UK Top 20 hits, BRIT Awards, a Mercury Prize, and Grammy nominations, solidifying them as a band to watch and follow.

The band’s forthcoming tour will see them perform in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Thirroul, and Sydney. The tour begins at Perth’s Red Hill Auditorium on Wednesday, 26 November, followed by dates at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Saturday, 29 November, and Anita’s Theatre in Thirroul on Tuesday, 2 December.

In addition to those dates, Franz Ferdinand will perform as part of Melbourne’s Live At The Gardens series at the Royal Botanic Gardens on Friday, 28 November, and the On The Steps program at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Wednesday, 3 December.

The tour will see the Scottish band joined by all Australian supports: Teenage Dads and Delivery, aside from Thirroul, which will only feature Delivery as special guests.

Reviewing Franz Ferdinand and MGMT’s show at Melbourne’s Festival Hall in 2018, The Music’s Madison Thomas wrote: “While Franz Ferdinand have long discarded their matching suits and sharp haircuts, the blood still pumps strongly through each of their songs. Listening to some of these songs almost a decade later, it is dizzying to note just how ahead of the curve the band was in its infancy, and their continued innovation. In a live setting, they are near unbeatable.”
