Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have announced new world tour dates.
The Australian surf rockers will hit Liverpool, Glasgow, Sheffield, Cardiff, Bedford, Birmingham and Reading in July, alongside more headline shows in their home country, Europe, the US and Canada. Tickets for the UK shows go on sale at 10am on March 1.
The band also have various festival slots lined up at Latitude, Deer Shed, Roskilde, Down The Rabbit Hole, Mad Cool, and NOS Alive, as well as a stop at Dublin's Iveagh Gardens supporting Idles on July 11.
To accompany the tour news, a new single has been released. In The Capital is RBCF’s first new material since 2018’s ‘Hope Down’, and comes fully equipped with the toe-tapping sound of jangling guitars fans have come to expect. The new track will be released on 7" vinyl on April 26 through Sub Pop Records as a double a-side, backed with Read My Mind.
Vocalist and guitarist Fran Keaney said:
"I first had the idea for the melody and some of the lyrics when I was swimming. It’s taken a while to finish the song, to make it feel like the initial feeling. I can’t neatly describe it, but something like connection despite distance. I was thinking about transience and water and death and big cities and fishing towns and moon river."
