Fresh off the heels of their Here To Dance single drop, The Veronicas have officially announced that ‘Gothic Summer’, their first international album in 10 years, will be released worldwide on Friday, 22 March via Big Noise Music Group.
Jessica and Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas first started feeding new album speculation in October 2023 when they released the fierce anthem Perfect. The duo timed the release around their much-anticipated performance at the When We Were Young festival, which Forbes called “a perfect comeback.” In December, they dropped the ska-pop-punk fusion Detox and confirmed that they had a new album titled ‘Gothic Summer’ coming in March 2024.
After a much-needed disconnect, the passion to create again came knocking and ‘Gothic Summer’ was born. Lisa and Jessica found themselves with a myriad of stories to explore: confronting speculation and drama (Here to Dance), toxic obsession (Detox), the pressures of living in a social culture that is never satiated (Perfect) and more. The 8-track album was produced by longtime collaborator, friend and Big Noise label-head John Feldmann, alongside a modern-day roll call of A-list pop/rock juggernauts including Travis Barker, Sierra Deaton, Ryan Linville (Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan), Zhone (Troye Sivan, Kim Petras) and Chris Collins (Royal Otis, Matt Corby) who all challenged the duo to explore their expansive musical range more than ever before.
In addition to releasing new music, The Veronicas will perform at Hello Sunshine Festival on Saturday, 2 March before hitting the road for a 22-date U.S. Headline Tour, marking their return to U.S. stages in almost a decade. Tickets and more information HERE.
