Billed as The Singles Tour: A Career Retrospective, the band are set to perform 20 of their classic singles from across their storied career. That’s right, you’ll be hearing Under The Milky Way, The Unguarded Moment, Reptile, Tear it All Away, When You Were Mine, Almost With You, Electric Lash, It’s No Reason, Already Yesterday, Columbus, Tantalized, Metropolis, The Hypnogogue, and stacks more.

The tour begins in Frankston on Thursday, 6 November, before the band heads to Barwon Heads, Melbourne, Canberra, Perth, Wollongong, Sydney, Tweed Heads, Brisbane, and the Sunshine Coast and wraps up in Adelaide on Sunday, 30 November. Check out all the dates and venues below.

In February 2023, The Church released their first album in six years, The Hypnogogue. Last March, they released a companion album, Eros Zeta And The Perfumed Guitars, and expanded on the former album’s science fiction themes.

Frontman Steve Kilbey said of the former LP, “The Hypnogogue is set in 2054, a dystopian and broken-down future. Invented by Sun Kim Jong, a North Korean scientist and occult dabbler, it is a machine and a process that pulls music straight out of dreams.”
