“We are so excited to have King Stingray, Teenage Joans and Rat!Hammock joining us on this tour,” the band said in a statement.
“We’ve been admiring their music from afar for a while now, we can’t wait to share a stage with them on what’s going to be one hell of a tour.
“Whilst we’ve jumped at every live opportunity that’s presented itself to us over the last couple of years, there’s nothing like headlining your own tour.
“We’ve missed that shared experience of live shows with the fans, and we can’t wait to do that again … with a few new tunes in tow!”
Pre-sale tickets to Ball Park Music’s Cairns show go live tomorrow, 8am, before the general sale on 8 March.
