Freshly returned from dominating the UK and Europe, Rum Jungle isn’t wasting any time getting back on the road, announcing a huge run of regional dates.
The ‘Chauffeur’ 2024 Australian tour takes in 22 venues nationwide from July to September, with the band kicking off the party in Adelaide as part of Spin Off Festival. Rum Jungle then plays shows in a host of cities and towns, including Gold Coast, Wagga Wagga, Rye, Margaret River and Launceston.
The tour comes in support of Rum Jungle’s latest single, 'Did The Morning Let You Down', taken from their awesome EP Hold Me In The Water.
Tickets for the ‘Chauffeur’ tour are on sale now via the band’s website.
It’s been a big couple of years for Rum Jungle’s Benny McIntyre (vocals and guitar), Josh Giles (guitar), Michael Kolmajer (bass guitar), and Frazer McDonald (drums).
The Newy quartet has built a loyal fanbase off the back of their three EPs – Crazy Days, Sun & Smoke and Everything Is Easy – and energetic live shows. Merging familiar indie rock tropes with reggae rock riffs and luscious vocals, Rum Jungle has crafted their own niche in the Aussie music scene and don’t seem like slowing down anytime soon.
Tickets for Rum Jungle’s Adelaide show as part of this year’s Spin Off Festival are on sale now via Moshtix.
