English punk rock duo SOFT PLAY announce they’ll be performing Australian headline shows this January and February 2025. Off the back of their highly acclaimed LP ‘Heavy Jelly’, released on July 19 this year, and embarking on their first headline tour in six years, the band is set to ignite venues across Australia this summer with uncompromising, full-throttle intensity.

Across three UK Top Ten charting albums, taking root from their 2015 Mercury Prize nominated debut, SOFT PLAY (formerly known as SLAVES) quickly established themselves as an influential force in the British rock landscape. Their distinctive, unapologetic approach to the genre and kinetic live performances have fortified the band’s avid global fanbase, earning them widespread critical acclaim and coveted festival slots. Along the way, they’ve won the hearts of The Streets’ Mike Skinner, the Beastie Boys Mike D, won multiple NME Awards, had Skepta join them on stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend, and toured with The Prodigy, Kasabian, Jamie T and Wolf Alice.

Recent headline gigs and festival performances – including Glastonbury, Boardmasters, Download Festival, and an upcoming sold-out UK Tour including Brixton Academy in London - have shown that SOFT PLAY have upped the ante following their return, both in terms of raw power and mischievous humour. As Louder Than War’s review of the Brixton show enthused, “Their raucous energy, sardonic humour, and unadulterated punk spirit proved their return is not only welcome but essential.”

SOFT PLAY kicks off their Australia 2025 tour at Melbourne’s 170 Russell on January 27, followed by Factory Theatre in Sydney on January 29, The Triffid in Brisbane on January 30, and concluding at Magnet House, Perth on February 1.
