The Veronicas: National tour

Official Press Release:

The Veronicas have taken little time in establishing

themselves as one of Australia’s premier music acts, and it is with great

pleasure The Frontier Touring Company announces their return to Australian

stages this November/December. The Veronicas’ Hook Me Up Tour will be their

first Down Under since they thrilled thousands across the country on 2006’s

Coke Live arena tour. 

Taking to stages in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle, Brisbane

and the Gold Coast, this will be The Veronicas largest headlining tour to date

– and it promises to be their best. Returning with their much loved and widely

praised four piece band that wowed audiences last time, The Veronicas are set

to thrill this time around. No strangers to the stage, The Veronicas have

played across the United States, Europe and of course Australia, alongside some

of music’s finest talent including Blondie, Ashlee Simpson, AFI and Evermore, proving

themselves to be superstars of the highest calibre.

Hook Me Up (out now through Warner Music), the debut single

from their forthcoming album, has sent The Veronicas flying back into the

public spotlight with a bang. Signalling a change for the band, Hook Me Up

takes The Veronicas to a new level as they – quite convincingly - take on

electro-pop. Steering the girls in a more mature direction, Hook Me Up sets the

bar high for the hotly anticipated follow up record to their 2005 ARIA-award

winning debut The Secret Life of… (Warner Music).   So catchy is Hook

Me Up that radio stations across the country scrambled to add the song

immediately – securing the girls the #2 most added song to radio spot.

Working with an array of acclaimed producers and writers,

including John Feldman and Greg Wells on their new album Hook Me Up, The

Veronicas promise to release one of this year’s most spectacular albums, a feat

which is set to be mirrored by their Hook Me Up Tour. Undeniably one of Australia’s

best, and favourite, live acts, The Veronicas never fail in setting the crowds

before them alight.  

Of last year’s Revolution Tour, The Age declared: “The pair

are a rarity in modern pop…” The Courier Mail were also won over, announcing:

“…the duo left their contemporaries for dead with a searing display of sheer

talent.” And Inpress were left wondering “how much longer it will be before the

rest of the world cottons on to Australia’s

best musical secret and steals from us the pleasure of seeing such an awesome

act so regularly.”

With a dynamic new album Hook Me Up (released November 3

through Warner Music) on the way, it’s not long before the world does indeed

discover our musical secret and steals them from us. Don’t miss your

opportunity to see The Veronicas live this November/December! 

Tickets are on sale Friday 5 October.
