La Dispute announce ‘No One Was Driving the Car’ Australian headline tour

La Dispute has announced they’ll be hitting Australia this fall for the ‘No One Was Driving the Car‘ headline tour.

The headline tour sees La Dispute kick it off at the Astor Theatre in Perth on October 16, then over to Victoria at Singing Bird in Frankston on October 18 and 170 Russell in Melbourne on October 19. The band head to The Gov in Adelaide on October 21, Liberty Hall in Sydney on October 23, King Street in Newcastle on October 24, finishing off in Brisbane at The Tivoli on October 25. All shows are all ages except for Melbourne which is 18+, and Perth which is Licensed All Ages, patrons under 18 can attend with a parent/guardian over 18. Guests on the tour are Meanjin/ Brisbane four piece Special Features. Full details below.

Six out of the seven shows in Australia are all ages / licensed all ages, harping back to the roots of La Dispute, as vocalist Jordan Dreyer explains;

“All of us were underage when we first started going to local shows at home in West Michigan, and still when attending them pushed us to start writing music together and playing our own. Without venues that were accessible to us, both as attendees and performers, the entire endeavour might’ve died on the vine, and we’d have lost out not only on an important creative outlet as young people, but a welcoming community too. Understanding that possibility, it’s been a priority always to keep our doors open to all comers where possible, so that anyone—including (or especially, really) younger people—have the same opportunities afforded to us at a crucial age.”
