WAAXMeanjin rockers WAAX have announced a mammoth 22-date Australian tour for October-December. The tour announcement comes a week away from the release of their highly anticipated second studio album At Least I'm Free.
Kicking off on Thursday, 6 October in Canberra, the four-piece will perform across the country before wrapping on Saturday, 3 December in Torquay. Tickets for the tour are on sale now.
Vocalist Maz DeVita shares that the band can't wait to get out on the road in support of At Least I'm Free.
“We cannot wait to see everyone out on the road, it’s going to be so special. We didn’t get a chance to tour our last album so this one will make up for lost time! It will be a super exciting immersive world for our community to party in."
This extensive tour follows on from their sold-out national Dangerous tour in April and May as well as recent dates as special guests for The Amity Affliction. Maz also joined Northeast Party House on stage at Splendour In The Grass for a riotous cover of Linkin Park’s One Step Closer.
On At Least I’m Free, WAAX teamed up with the production team behind their debut breakout album Big Grief - Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger) and Grammy Award-Winner Nick DiDia (Rage Against The Machine). The album features the recent single Read Receipts, the Queensland Music Award-winning single Most Hated Girl, Help Me Hell, and the Linda Perry co-write Dangerous, in addition to some fresh collaborations, including US rock superstar K.Flay on No Doz.
At Least I'm Free will be released on Friday, 12 August via Dew Process.
