Fans have eagerly been awaiting the return of Yellowcard to Australia and we can now confirm that they are coming back to tour Australia in July 2015, and this time the band will also be taking Mayday Parade on the road with them.
Back in action with their seventh studio album Lift A Sail, Yellowcard have returned with what frontman Ryan Key acknowledges as a new challenge for the band but “still a massive rock record”.
Lift A Sail sees Yellowcard honour the nostalgic violin-infused rock, courtesy of Sean Mackin, and once again sees them growing bigger, louder and more fearless than their previous records – elements that will definitely satisfy loyal fans and draw in the music lovers of today.
“We are so excited to announce that we will be touring Australia in July of 2015 in support of our new album Lift A Sail. We will be sharing the stage with fellow Floridians, Mayday Parade! We are pumped to be able to perform in Australia again, and to share the stage with Mayday Parade!! Hope to see y’all there!!” – Ryan, Sean, Ryan & Josh (Yellowcard)
Just last year Yellowcard toured Down Under in celebration of the tenth anniversary of Ocean Avenue, their most acclaimed album to date. The acoustic tour was met with rave reviews for a band that so many people grew up listening to and who are still able to recapture the familiar rock sounds many grew up loving.
The excitement building around their upcoming album has definitely started rippling amongst the long-time Yellowcard fans, with ‘One Bedroom’ winning over many new ones.
The good news keeps rolling in with American rock quintet Mayday Parade confirmed as support on all Australian dates. The band who continue to provide fans with their iconic catchy, pop-punk style, which radiates real rock energy are back with their fourth studio album Monsters In The Closet (out now through Fearless Records). The album debuted at #10 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Independent Label Chart, with single ‘Ghosts’ emitting the perfect balance of rock and melodic and catchy pop sensibilities that Mayday Parade are known and loved for.
Furthermore, opening each show will be Sydney band Born Lion. Having been compared to bands like Fugazi, Future of the Left and The Bronx, the band played Bigsound last year and were featured as one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s five most promising acts. Their track ‘D for Danger’ was not only quickly snapped up by triple j, who named them 2014’s Next Crop Artist, but also scored plays on BBC Radio 1 in the UK.
This incredible pop-punk matchup is sure to be a nostalgic experience for many fans keen to revisit some of the most defining musical moments of the last decade. Competition for tickets is expected to be fierce, so don’t miss out!
