Less than two weeks after tickets to The Living End’s I Only Trust Rock n Roll Regional Tour went on sale, it’s been proven once again that the trio remain one of the hottest live acts in the country.

Four shows have already completely sold out at Hobart’s Odeon Theatre, Ballarat’s Civic Hall, Cairns’ Tanks Art Centre, and Thirroul’s Anita’s Theatre in August. Responding to the phenomenal demand, The Living End have announced a second show at the Tanks Art Centre on Thursday, 13 August, as well as a venue upgrade in Townsville to The Warehouse on Friday, 14 August.

New tickets have been released via The Living End’s website.

Frontman Chris Cheney said of the forthcoming shows, “The hunger we had when The Living End first began still drives our energy on stage every time we play.

“The songs from our latest album ‘I Only Trust Rock n Roll’ hit as hard as any of our older songs. Our gig philosophy is pretty simple: blow the fricken doors off! See you at the show.”

The Living End are touring in support of their most recent album, I Only Trust Rock n Roll, their first album in eight years, released last September.

While fans will be hearing new tracks, they’ll also get to sing along to classics such as White Noise, Roll On, Who’s Gonna Save Us, All Torn Down, Second Solution, Prisoner of Society and more.

On Thursday, 11 June, The Living End will be inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame during a Special Event held at Sydney’s Carriageworks. They’re this year’s inductees alongside Kate Ceberano, Gurrumul, Vika & Linda, Jenny Morris, and Spiderbait.
