In anticipation of their upcoming return to Australian shores later this month, UK indie juggernauts The Reytons have announced the supports for each show on the tour.
The band will be joined be by a plethora of emerging local talent, including The Deeneys & Girl Shaped Gun (Perth); Andy Martin Band & Friends Of Friends (Brisbane); Satin Cali & Sunset Avenue (Sydney); The Velvet Club & The Valiants (Melbourne); Molly Rocket and Stormy Lou (Adelaide).
The band have been busy selling out arenas and parks across the UK and Europe over the past few months, including the legendary Clifton Park in Rotherham back in July (which happens to hold 20,000 people) – the biggest event held in the town in over 50 years.
The Reytons have quickly become one of the UK’s premiere indie bands since the release of their debut album ‘Kids Off The Estate’ back in 2021. Fiercely independent since their inception, the band quickly rose to fame following their sophomore album ‘What’s Rock And Roll?’ which topped the UK albums chart back in early 2023.
The band have racked up an impressive 130m+ streams on Spotify, with countless sell out tours across the UK and Europe – including a sold out show in Sheffield’s Utilita Arena (which happens to hold 13,500 people). Their latest album ‘Ballads Of A Bystander’, which dropped in late January of this year, recently topped the UK Record Store Chart and is just shy of 3m total streams on Spotify.
‘Ballad Of A Bystander’ is the band doing what they do best – communicating real stories of real people; unleashing more of the crowd-pleasing, aspirational indie that has brought so many music fans to their door in years past. Tracks such as ‘Market Street’ and ‘Nineteen Crimes’ demonstrate a introspective, anthemic form of songwriting from the band, whilst songs like ‘Adrenaline’ & ‘Minus One’ are the band at full throttle – filled with grit and raucous energy that Australian audiences are sure to enjoy.
They were last in the country for Brisbane’s Super Fun Day festival last year, with the band also selling out shows at the Oxford Art Factory in Sydney and Stay Gold in Melbourne. There’s still limited tickets available for each show on the tour, with tickets moving fast for each date,
“Australia seems like a second home to us. The Australians just ‘get it’ and create the same level of carnage and chaos in the crowd that the fans back home bring. These shows are going to be special and we can’t wait to come back! All Reytons aren’t we?!
