The ‘Electric Summer’ Australian tour comes after last year’s sold out ‘20 Good Years’ tour that saw the band celebrating their 20th anniversary.

Discussing the new tour, frontman Rai Thistlethwayte had this to say:
“As a band with over 20 years experience, we feel so fortunate and grateful to be able to plug our instruments in, harness the electricity in the air and continue to perform for our legendary fans and listeners. We reckon the Aussie Summer combined with great music is the most fun you can have on Earth, and The Merc will be giving you everything we’ve got when we hit stages all around this beautiful country!”
