The Holidays announce April tour with guests Gold Fields [Tour News]

Sydney band The Holidays have announced they’ll be taking their dreamy, palm tree jams on the road again with a national headline tour in April.


Post Paradise (Bonus Track Version) - The HolidaysPost Paradise (Bonus Track Version)
  The band’s self produced, debut album Post Paradise, has proven to be a critic’s favourite and ended last year picking up The Age EG award for ‘Best Album’ and landing the year’s final Triple J Feature Album. The album also received “Album of the Week” in Drum Media, Beat Magazine, BMA Mag & The Brag, while Post Paradise has already delivered alternative radio favourites Broken Bones, Golden Sky and Moonlight Hours.


Earlier this week they were crowned winners of the prestigious Australian Music Prize Red Bull Award for the Best Debut Album of 2010.

Having kicked off the New Year with massive shows with UK indie darlings Mystery Jets, The Holidays will be heading out nationally in February with the Laneway Festival (alongside Yeasayer, Cut Copy, Local Natives, Gotye), before embarking on their first ever US dates, including multiple performances at SXSW in Austin.

The band has been winning raves from various parts of the globe in recent times – including NME, BBC6 and X-FM support in the UK, rave reviews in Japan where the album has just been released by Rallye label (Klaxons, Toro Y Moi), multiple songs in the Hype Machine charts, and coverage from US tastemakers RCRD LBL and Filter.

Special guests on the forthcoming national tour will be Ballarat’s Gold Fields who have also been scoring widespread radio support for their debut single Treehouse .
