Fresh off the back of sold out shows in cities across Australia and North America, Middle Kids are announcing their first Australian regional tour in support of their new and highly-acclaimed album ‘Faith Crisis Pt 1’. The 14-date tour will run up and down the east coast, across September, October and November; kicking off its first weekend in Rooty Hill and Newcastle, travelling through NSW, VIC, ACT and QLD, finishing up in Cairns, Airlie Beach and Townsville.
Over the 13 propulsive, ecstatic and gorgeous tracks of ‘Faith Crisis Pt 1’, songwriter and vocalist Hannah Joy attempts to tease out the question of belief; the breaking of it, and how it is rebuilt. Co-produced by Tim Fitz and Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, Beabadoobee), Joy and bandmates Fitz and Harry Day masterfully express the sensation of being overwhelmed, swept up and dragged down in songs that exalt and lift you higher. The album was supported by a national capital city tour in May and June.
Middle Kids‘ second album ‘Today We’re The Greatest’ won Best Rock Album at the 2021 ARIA Awards. Released at the height of the pandemic, the album garnered the band several US TV show performances including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and The Late, Late Show with James Cordon.
Middle Kids first gained attention in 2017 with their debut single, Edge Of Town and their debut album, ‘Lost Friends’, which won Triple J‘s Best Australian Album Award in 2018. The success of their albums has also earned the band an international touring profile which has included supporting shows with the likes of Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, War on Drugs and Cold War Kids and festivals such as The Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, Osheaga Festival and many more.
