Irish alt-rockers Ash return to Australia this year with ‘The Singles Tour 1994-2024’. The announcement comes just over a year after Ash played a bunch of shows across the country to celebrate their 30th anniversary.

Presented by Metropolis Touring, ‘The Singles Tour 1994-2024’ will hit Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney this October. Fans of the band can expect to hear all their favourite tunes, including ‘Kung Fu’, ‘Girl from Mars’, ‘Oh Yeah’, ‘Goldfinger’, ‘A Life Less Ordinary’, ‘Shining Light,’ ‘Burn Baby Burn’ and more, along with tracks from Ash’s 2023 album, Race the Night.

The band’s week long stay in Australia begins with a gig at Perth’s Rosemount Hotel on Sunday, October 6. The band then plays Adelaide’s The Gov on Tuesday, October 8, Brisbane’s The Triffid on Thursday, October 10, Melbourne’s 170 Russell on Friday, October 11 and Sydney’s Manning Bar on Saturday, October 12.

Founded by singer and guitarist Tim Wheeler, bassist Mark Hamilton and drummer Rick McMurray in 1992, Ash established themselves as one of the UK’s most popular guitar rock acts of the 90s.

Their debut studio album, 1977, was produced by Owen Morris (Oasis, the Verve) at Rockfield Studios in Wales and released to much fanfare in 1996. It went straight to the top of the UK Charts and was voted by NME as one of ‘The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time’ in 2013.

Across their 32-year career Ash has released eight albums – including the two #1 albums 1977 and Free All Angels – and earned 24 top ten UK Indie Chart singles. Their most recent album, 2023s Race the Night, is their highest charting album in two decades and a return to form for the trio.
