Since their inception in 2007, You Me At Six have turned heads worldwide with their unique take on pop punk, with “intricate guitar riffs, well placed beats, and a catchy chorus, what more could you ask for?” – Messamusic. The sounds emanating from their latest album ‘Hold Me Down’ give the picture of a band who are proud to have learned their trade the old-fashioned way “and they deserve the right to be in the position they have found themselves in… as a pop-rock powerhouse” – Alter The Press

Known for their notoriously adrenalized live sets, You Me At Six have cemented their growing reputation as one of the world’s most electrifying bands and they “are going further up in the world every single day, the question is; is there really any stopping them?” – Change The Record

Packing a mighty punch to the bill are co-headliners We The Kings, one of the most engaging and exciting acts on the pop rock circuit. Talent, ambition, hard work and with a knack for writing citrus-sweet hooks, they display an energy that never fails to be infectious, a type of happy disease. However it’s the live arena where they truly make their mark. “If We The Kings haven’t graced anyone’s ears before, you can be sure a lot of kids will be Googling tonight.” – Change The Record.

The band’s latest album, ‘Smile Kid’ has launched them into the pop music stratosphere…”it’s the perfect pick-me-up. Going from strength to strength, it is evident that there are bigger and better things to come from this lot.” – Rock Louder. We The Kings prepare to unleash their third album ‘Sunshine State Of Mind’ in July which is bound to take them to dizzying new heights.

Opening the show nationwide are Sydney upstarts The Mission In Motion, who have spent countless hours on the road honing their craft criss-crossing Australia. Earnest and straight forward, the band has gone from strength to strength with the release of their stellar debut album ‘Somewhere Safe’ demonstrating their catchy blend of pop-punk and rock.

You Me At Six and We The Kings continue their love affair with Australia with tour mates The Mission In Motion…this may just be the most fun you’ll have this year!
