Rüfüs Du Sol have just released their new album and now their heading around the country with a national tour.
After dropping their anticipated third LP Solace on Friday, electronic act Rüfüs Du Sol have announced their Solace Australian tour – their biggest Aussie tour yet.
The epic run of shows will kick off with a festival headline set at Sydney’s Field Day festival on January 1, 2019, before moving through Melbourne to play Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Adelaide’s Entertainment Centre, Perth’s Fremantle Arts Centre, Margaret River’s Three Oceans Winery and finishing up at Brisbane’s Riverstage on March 2.
Solace follows Rüfüs Du Sol’s previous two platinum-certified albums ATLAS and Bloom. The Australian three-piece, comprised of members Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George and James Hunt, have explored new territory on Solace; born out of a particularly poignant period for the band, it tackles heavier themes such as the pain of loss and the persistence of memory.
The band say their brand new live show will push their on-stage abilities to new levels. With an emphasis on jamming and live improvisation, the trio will bring the magical spontaneity of their studio process to the stage in an unprecedented format.
Of the upcoming shows, Jon says the band are aiming to make an emotional connection.
“Some of our favourite moments have been at these outdoor venues. These live experiences just bring everyone together – whether you’re losing your friends, or finding new ones, but being so content in dancing and connecting with the music and the band on stage. We really hope to bring those moments and create that emotional connection over the summer.”
Rüfüs Du Sol will play the Fremantle Arts Centre on Friday 22nd February and 3 Oceans Winery in Margaret River on Saturday 23rd February. Tickets from OzTix.
