The War On Drugs closed their Australian & New Zealand tour with a sold out show at Kings Park, Perth. With special guests Spoon, plus Indigo Sparke, the band played in support of latest release ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’, praised by GQ as “the band’s clearest, most vibrant, and upbeat.”
Led by Adam Granduciel, the GRAMMY-Award winning band has steadily emerged as one of this century’s great rock and roll synthesists, removing the gaps between the underground and the mainstream, between the obtuse and the anthemic, making records that wrestle a fractured past into a unified and engrossing present.
The New Yorker called them “the best American ‘rock’ band of this decade” in support of 2017’s ‘A Deeper Understanding’ while Stereogum hailed The War On Drugs as “one of the greatest American bands of their generation” following the release of ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’. It landed on numerous 2021 best albums of the year lists and garnered a second GRAMMY Award nomination (Best Rock Song) and BRIT Award nomination.
