Ahead of their eagerly anticipated second album Sex Ed out August 22 via ABC Music, Melbourne’s self-professed “bogan funk” outfit Playlunch have announced their national tour in celebration of the record. The run of shows will see the rapidly rising seven-piece bring their joyful, cheeky, and undeniably funky live show to venues across the country this September, playing their biggest headline shows to date in Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, and Sydney, before bringing it home to Melbourne.

“We’re so pumped to celebrate this new album we’ve worked crazy hard on for the past year,” say Playlunch. “It’s absolutely bananas to us how much love, support and dedication our fans continue to give us, and this tour is a celebration of our commitment back to you guys. We’re going to bring it. “These shows will not only be in these crazy surreal venues, but will also be the biggest Playlunch show you’ll have ever seen - packed full of surprises and with the best production value we can possibly cram into the shows. We’ll be playing a whole heap of these new tracks live for the very first time (can’t wait to show you!), as well as all the favs from our debut album.”

Joining Playlunch on tour is Brisbane-based duo JUNO, who have been making waves in the Australian live circuit with their irresistible blend of alt-pop.

“We’re so excited to be having the insanely talented JUNO along for the whole tour with us. We first met them at BIGSOUND in Brisbane last year and couldn’t have been more impressed with their show. Everyone is in for an absolute treat, with a night of nonstop dancing and singing across the whole lineups!”

With an infectious catalogue of genre-blending tracks covering nostalgic and distinctly Aussie themes like school athletics days, Blue Light Discos, and the peculiar world of daytime TV on a sick day, Playlunch’s upcoming tour promises audiences a sense of euphoric escapism and unabashed joy. Pack your schoolbags and grab your Yu-Gi-Oh! cards for childhood nostalgia’s night of nights, coming to a city near you.
