TISM Add More New Dates to Upcoming National Headline Tour

TISM – or TSIM, as they continue to insist – have added several new dates to their upcoming ‘No Mistakes Tour’, their first national headline run in 30 years. 

The masked Melbourne favourites have added new shows in Hobart, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Wollongong. See the full dates below. Tickets are on sale now here.

The group have confirmed they are already planning two completely different productions across the tour, featuring different songs, costumes, and “totally different vibes”, according to today’s announcement.

While TISM are keeping quiet on which version fans will see on which night, they said they have dug deep into their catalogue, with some songs set to be performed for the first time in decades – including material that hasn’t been played live for 40 years.

TISM have spent decades forging a reputation for their genre-blurring, boundary-smashing, sarcasm-wielding (and entirely anonymous) antics.

Emerging in the late ’80s, the often balaclava-clad group have explored dance, pop, rock and caustic wit amongst other musical delights, spanning seven studio albums, countless award nominations and two ARIA Award wins, millions of streams, and a live performance reputation that truly has to be seen to be believed.

The group recently played one-off shows in Sydney and Melbourne, in celebration of Machiavelli and the Four Seasons. Released in 1995, the album – their third studio album – showcased a significant stylistic shift from their earlier works, and remains as sharp and relevant as ever. It blends satire, chaos, and creative genius into razor-sharp musical moments, and catapulted the group into mainstream infamy.

Machiavelli and the Four Seasons spent 72 weeks in the charts, peaked at No. 8, and took home the ARIA Award for Best Independent Release. It also ticked off three songs in triple j’s Hottest 100 in 1995, and gifted some of the group’s most enduring cuts, including “(He’ll Never Be An) Ol’ Man River” and “Greg! The Stop Sign!!”.
