Jungle announce Australian tour and new album release

Jungle have announced that they are heading back to Australia for a Volcano album tour in May 2024.

Ahead of the release of their highly-anticipated fourth studio album Volcano, Jungle have announced an Australian tour for May 2024.

Four tracks have been released from Volcano to date, ‘Back On 74’, ‘I’ve Been In Love’ (ft. Channel Tres), ‘Dominoes’ and ‘Candle Flame’ (ft. Erick The Architect), all of which received widespread support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, Radio 2 and Apple Music 1.

The Australia tour will follow Jungle performing to a total of more than 190,000 people across their 2023 tour, which starts with a landmark London festival headline set at All Points East on 26 August. They will then take their euphoric, full-live band show across America and Europe on a tour which includes numerous arena dates.

Jungle are lifelong friends from Shepherd’s Bush, London. Their self-titled breakthrough debut album became an instant classic, leading to a Mercury Prize nomination, which they followed with the album For Ever before amplifying their success with Loving In Stereo – all contributing to a total of over a billion streams to date. Their extended live band has made them firm festival favourites, headlining Wilderness and South Facing as well as drawing huge crowds as far afield as Coachella and Lollapalooza Brazil, while headline shows have included Alexandra Palace and multiple nights at the O2 Academy Brixton. Their visionary stylised and choreographed videos are also a major aspect of Jungle’s artistic identity, most notably with the ambitious visual narrative that spanned every track on Loving In Stereo’.

“The seven-piece lords of funk proving they are more than capable of crushing their live sets and setting rooms on fire at the same time” – The AU Review

“Jungle have forged themselves a reputation of being a fierce live band…Their grooves are infectious and inspire even the sourest concert-ger to move.” – The Music

General public tickets for Jungle go on sale Friday 11 August via Ticketmaster.com.au. –
