Alternative emo rockers Free Throw (US) and Microwave (US) have announced they'll be returning to Australia this July and August for a co-headline tour across the nation. Both bands will alternate headline duties as the tour travels.

Free Throw will travel to Australia for the second time ever this July to play more dates, new venues and a longer set. The Nashville quintet supported Hot Mulligan (US) around Australia last year, selling out multiple dates on the run and leaving a lasting impression on new fans throughout the country. 

Last week the band released the special deluxe version of their popular debut album 'Those Days Are Gone' via Wax Bodega, including live recordings, original songs and new versions featuring friends in Hot Mulligan, Microwave, Movements, Pool Kids and Covet, celebrating over a decade of friendship and hard work. The members — Cory Castro, Lawrence Warner, Justin Castro, Jake Hughes, and Kevin Garcia — have a fresh perspective on life as they continue to grow as artists and tick off countless performances worldwide.

Making the journey across the nation alongside Free Throw is Atlanta emo quartet, Microwave for their second visit down under since supporting Mom Jeans back in March 2023.  Freshly equipped with their highly anticipated new album, 'Let's Start Degeneracy', Microwave channel mental and physical frustration into powerful, unbridled, gut-wrenching loud rock music. 

Microwave revel in newfound creative abandon, colliding post-hardcore aggression with ‘90s alternative sneer, bleeding broodingly atmospheric verses into anthemic choruses. A recipe for impassioned singalongs and emotional release, Microwave are guaranteed to connect and shake up crowds in just the right way.
