Event Details

UK indie-math-rock quartet DELTA SLEEP have announced their debut Australian tour, visiting Perth, Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne this October.

Hailed as one of the UK’s most engaging, original and forward thinking groups, over the past decade the band have featured at some of the world’s most impressive festivals, including ArcTanGent, 2000Trees & DAS Fest, as well as headlining their own club shows around the world.

Touring in support of their latest record ‘Spring Island’ has already taken the band across much of the globe, from the UK to mainland Europe and North America.

Originally formed in 2010, Delta Sleep earned critical acclaim for their jangly and airy approach to complex arrangement and song structures, evident on their second full length album ‘Ghost City.’

2021’s ‘Spring Island’ saw further enthusiasm for their memorable and emotive songwriting, with a series of videos made for standout tracks ‘Old Soul’, ‘View To A Fill’ and ‘The Detail.’

Equal parts American Football, Discipline-era King Crimson and Algernon Cadwallader, the band have fused a variety of influences into a unique sound that is beloved by their worldwide cult following.

Of the upcoming Australian tour, the band stated:

Super excited to finally get out to the epic shores of Australia. It's been on our bucket list for nearly a decade now so as you can imagine we are pumped!

Every single time we announce a tour we get bombarded with messages from Australian fans asking us to get on a plane and visit...and we finally are...so this one's for you, for everyone who has been waiting patiently for nearly a decade, it's time! Let’s. Go.

Delta Sleep will be joined at all shows by Perth math rock trio YOMI SHIP, fresh off recent supports with prog giants Animals As Leaders, I Built The Sky and last year’s momentous Monolith Festival, which featuring Karnivool, Cog, Plini, sleepmakeswaves & more. Fans of The Mars Volta & Yes will enjoy their multi-faceted and complex prog.

Sydney math-rockers SEIMS will join the tour along the east coast in Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne. The band are touring in support of their standout record ‘FOUR’ which has seen them perform at the UK’s ArcTanGent Festival, Belgium’s Dunk Festival, London’s Portals Festival and support bands including And So I Watch You From Afar, sleepmakeswaves & Closure in Moscow. Fans of 65daysofstatic, Battles & Three Trapped Tigers will find a lot to to enjoy in their varied sound.

Opening duties in Brisbane come from progressive rock group KODIAK EMPIRE, celebrating the release of their new record ‘The Great Acceleration.’ MOWGLI will open in Sydney, following shows with La Dispute & Raccoon City.

Opening in Melbourne is BEAR THE MAMMOTH, whose epic instrumental prog is a perfect fit for fans of Delta Sleep’s intricate arrangements.
