In support of their forthcoming EP Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Be out on September 27, The Rions are embarking on a huge 21-date Australian tour kicking off this October. With 11 x sold out shows under their belt already in 2024 plus the band’s first-ever UK and Europe tour (with mates Pacific Avenue), The Rions are continuing to broaden their reach across Australia and beyond.

Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Befollows the band’s widely-acclaimed debut EP Minivan released in 2023. The five-track project chronicled their transformation from high school ones-to-watch to the self-assured band they’ve now become, capturing the effervescence of love, heartbreak and self-discovery, and precipitating the fearless vulnerability TheRions bring to this new EP. On Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Be, the band share, “For our second EP, we wanted to approach it with raw authenticity. This is the most genuine we’ve ever been with our stories, and we’re thrilled to share it with you all.”

Alongside their newest track,‘Time Will Try’, the forthcoming EP is set to include recent favourites ‘Sweet Cocoon’ and ‘Physical Medicine’ - both of which peaked at #1 on triple j’s Most Played Tracks, and garnered extensive media support from Rolling Stone Australia, NME, The Music, iHeartRadio, and Ones To Watch among others.

Clocking over 30 million streams worldwide, they’ve built up a legion of loyal fans from every corner of the world with their innate ability to filter universally felt experiences through their relentlessly catchy songwriting, and the band show no signs of slowing down.
