After dropping their anticipated third LP Solace, Australia’s own RÜFÜS DU SOL are gearing up to play what is set to be an epic run of shows in their home country throughout summer 2019. This is their biggest Australian tour yet, with both Melbourne shows now completely sold out, alongside newly announced Wollongong show on March 1 – and the second show in Perth on February 24 is down to the final tickets. With 30,000 tickets sold in Melbourne alone, and no new shows to be scheduled in for this run, fans should jump on this opportunity as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
RÜFÜS DU SOL are thrilled to announce they’ll be taking upcomers Lastlings and Cassian on the entire run. With both acts recently signing to RÜFÜS DU SOL’s very own label Rose Avenue, brother and sister duo Lastlings and rising producer Cassian are set to warm up the stage for the group, sharing main support duties throughout the run. After catching the ears and eyes of RÜFÜS DU SOL while on tour in Australia, Lastlings bounced ideas over the internet with the band, before getting the invitation to fly over and spend two weeks writing and producing tracks for their debut album in RÜFÜS DU SOL’s home studio, on Rose Avenue, Venice California. The first taste of these creations is Deja Vu, a bassline driven dancefloor weapon.
As an accomplished producer, DJ, songwriter, and mixing engineer, Cassian is a seriously versatile talent emerging from the Sydney electronic scene. He’s recently worked with Hayden James and What So Not, among others, and holds mixing credits on both SOLACE and RÜFÜS DU SOL’s sophomore triumph Bloom. Cassian’s latest offering, Lafayette, feels fit for the dance floor, a long car drive, or just a casual listen around the house. The record explores the cyclical nature of relationships, acting as a signpost for the future direction of the Cassian project.
“We wanted to make the biggest shows of our career a moment we can share with those closest to us, so we’re thrilled to have our friends Lastlings and Cassiansupporting us for the Australian Solace tour,” says RÜFÜS DU SOL’s Tyrone Lindqvist. “They both have so much incredible new music to come that we’re honoured to play a part in, through our label Rose Avenue. It’s going to be special having them play these beautiful outdoor venues with us.”
RÜFÜS DU SOL’s third album Solace is unequivocally the group’s most sophisticated work to date, and has been critically acclaimed following its spectacular debut at number 2 on the ARIA charts. The Australian Solace tour follows a rigorous two-year world tour which saw the band perform everywhere from legendary California festival Coachella, to Serbia’s EXIT. The brand new live show will push the band’s on-stage abilities to new levels. With an emphasis on jamming and live improvisation, the trio will bring the magical spontaneity of their studio process to the stage in an unprecedented format. Bringing a host of new analog gear into the fold, as well as a revamped visual setup, the new live show will allow for each RÜFÜS DU SOL performance to be sonically distinct. Of the upcoming shows, Jon says,
“Some of our favourite moments have been at these outdoor venues. These live experiences just bring everyone together – whether you’re losing your friends, or finding new ones, but being so content in dancing and connecting with the music and the band on stage. We really hope to bring those moments and create that emotional connection over the summer.”
General public tickets to remaining shows are on sale now.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
