Having just wrapped their triumphant Spilt Milk national festival run over the weekend, The Rions announce their Australian Regional Tour taking place from February through April 2026, presented by triple j. General on-sale from Thursday 18 December at 9am local time. ALL INFO HERE.
After releasing their acclaimed debut album Everything Every Single Day in October, The Rions are riding the momentum of their national theatre tour, where they headlined some of the biggest venues of their career thus far – including sold-out shows at Melbourne’s Forum and Hobart’s Odeon Theatre. Their victory lap continued with a headline tour across the UK and Europe in November, before capping off the year back home, and the band are thrilled to continue their live run across 18 coast-to-coast regional dates. Across the tour, The Rions will also be joined by special guests Chloe Parché in NSW, Hey So Hungry in WA, Gordon’s Grandson in VIC, and bella amor in QLD.
Since their early beginnings as high school classmates, there’s been something special about The Rions from the jump. Winning triple j’s Unearthed High initiative in 2021, bandmates Noah Blockley, Harley Wilson, Asher McLean & Tom Partington swiftly catapulted to national recognition, releasing their first EP Minivan in 2023, and the #4 ARIA Australian Album-charting Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Be in 2024. The years spent honing their songwriting craft and building their identity as one of the country’s leading indie acts primed The Rions for a breakout 2025, with the release of their highly anticipated debut album in October.

Charting at #1 on the ARIA Australia Album Chart, #2 on the Vinyl Chart, and #5 overall, Everything Every Single Day showcases The Rions at their very best. Recorded over the course of a year with ARIA Award-winning producer Chris Collins (Ruby Fields, Pacific Avenue, Matt Corby), the album showcases a pensive, contemplative and emotionally-driven collection of pristine pop-rock – a major progression in the band’s’ sound, all while maintaining the charm and candour they’ve carried thus far.
Beyond the studio, The Rions bring equally as much passion into their live shows, earning their reputation as one of the country’s most prolific touring acts. No strangers to the Australian regional circuit, The Rions’ Happiness In Places tour last year encompassed 21 dates across the country, contributing to their massive 20,000 total headline tickets sold throughout 2024. Even now with their debut album out in the world, The Rions feel like they’re only just getting started, with plenty more action to come in the new year.

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.
