The Amity Affliction Take Album to Regional Australia

Brisbane’s The Amity Affliction have been tearing up capital cities all around the country on their Youngbloods launch tour, but they’re not done yet. As the tour comes to a close, the band are preparing to take the album to regional centres along the East Coast.

The Amity Affliction will barely have a month to rest before setting off on The Anchors tour this August. It’ll take in small towns in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland, and luckily for their many underage fans most shows will be all ages events.

The Amity Affliction are preparing to launch their attack on the United Kingdom and United States at the end of this year, so these shows might be the last ones we’ll get for a while!
