G Flip’s back with their third album, Dream Ride, landing worldwide on September 5 via AWAL Recordings.
The album is set to embrace a retro ’80s-inspired sound, featuring polished production with reverb-heavy drums and shimmering synthesisers.
Longtime collaborator Aidan Hogg co-wrote and co-produced the album, which features recent singles, the disco-flavoured “Disco Cowgirl” and Pride anthem “Big Ol’ Hammer”, alongside a brand-new track, “In Another Life”, which is set for release on Friday, July 11th.
To celebrate the album announcement, G Flip will hit the road for a run of fan events along the East Coast. These kick off on Friday, July 11th in Brisbane, followed by Monday, July 14th in Sydney and Tuesday, July 15th in Melbourne.
Fans can pre-order Dream Ride (along with exclusive vinyl and merch bundles) from G Flip’s website and enter for a chance to attend these special fan events.

This new release follows G Flip’s celebrated second album DRUMMER, which was released in 2023 to widespread acclaim. The album, which featured singles including “Be Your Man,” “The Worst Person Alive”, and “Good Enough”, shot to No. 1 on the ARIA charts and was named triple j’s Album of the Year. It also earned G Flip six ARIA nominations, further establishing them as a singular voice in modern music.
Also, seven tracks from the collection impacted the triple j Hottest 100, including the No. 2 spot with “Worst Person Alive”. That tally is a record for a homegrown artist, beating Wolfmother’s mark set in 2005, and was briefly the all-time mark (British artist Charli XCX has since taken the record).
DRUMMER propelled G Flip to their biggest Australian tour to date. The tour was a massive success, selling over 65,000 tickets across the world, including sold-out runs in Australia, the US and UK. The tour featured international festival performances, a surprise guest appearance from Mike Shinoda, and culminated in G Flip winning an ARIA Award for Best Live Act.
