“The Aerial Maps are poised to become one of the most valuable bands in the country.” – Inpress, Melbourne
“There is no other Aussie act quite like The Aerial Maps.” – Jeff Jenkins, MAG
“Adam Gibson writes from the heart, from the street, about the place that moves him the most. Ripper real words that are well worth checking out.” – Peter Garrett

After a hiatus of six or so years, The Aerial Maps are making a return to the live arena, bringing their blend of story and song to life once more. After a fair bit of tumult and lots of changes for the Maps, the epic Brisbane band Halfway has invited the band to support them on their album launch tour, and Maps’ centrepiece Adam Gibson has decided that it is indeed time to reignite things … to once again take audiences on long lyrical journeys across the land, through small forgotten towns, past ancient desert landscapes, empty beaches and into the great distance of Australia and beyond.
With 2018 marking the 10th anniversary of the release of their debut album, ‘In the Blinding Sunlight‘, and following the loss of the band’s much-loved comrade Simon Holmes last year, Adam felt the time was right to now re-spark the Maps after two albums with offshoot band, The Ark-Ark Birds. In essence, The Aerial Maps wish to again offer a new view, a different take, a path to something truly unique, live onstage, beginning with three shows with Halfway in August/September.
