Anberlin vocalist Stephen Christian recently announced he’s taking an indefinite break from touring, but not before he brings his band to Australia one last time. Hitting Australia in January, Anberlin will play shows with their very special guests Hawthorne Heights and The Word Alive. If you believe that alt-rock’s not dead, you’ll want to get your hands on some tickets.
“There is not a country outside the United States that Anberlin is more connected to or embraced as much as Australia, and this will be our 12th trip to this incredible country,” Stephen confirmed. “From our first show in Adelaide, to then writing a song about it, and years later having a 9-year-old girl named Adelaide come on stage and sing that very song with us to a massive sold-out show in Sydney we have SO many core memories created on that soil. It is absolutely fitting that I am taking a final bow in Australia before taking a long hiatus from touring. I appreciate you Australia and can’t wait to sing along one final time.”
This will be the first time that Anberlin have visited Australia since 2019 and their first opportunity to play music from their EPs Silverline and Convinced, which dropped in 2022 and 2023 after the band’s reformation. And that’s to say nothing of Hawthorne Heights, who proved with the release of The Rain Just Follows Me in 2021 that they’ve still got plenty left in the tank. The World Alive also just dropped a new album, Hard Reset, in August, their first in three years.
Expect to hear plenty of the new material and classics when Anberlin, Hawthorne Heights, and The World Alive hit Australia this January. Tickets are on sale now.
