Rise Against reveal headline tour dates for 2018

Rise Against return to Australia in support of their new album, Wolves, and with support from SWMRS.

Chicago punks, Rise Against, have confirmed plans to tour Australia in 2018.

Bringing their Wolves tour cycle down under, the US quartet will play five headline shows across Oz in February.

They’ll also be joined by California outfit SWMRS for all dates, which see them play Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane at the beginning of next year.

Talking about the new record, which they recorded in Nashville with producer Nick Raskulinecz ( Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains), Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath said, “In many ways, a Rise Against show is a safe space for our fans.

“But I realised… I want to create dangerous spaces where misogyny can’t exist, where xenophobia can’t exist. I want to create spaces where those sentiments don’t have any air, and they suffocate: where those ideas die.

“Wolves isn’t about creating a safe space, it’s about creating a space that’s dangerous for injustice.”

Ticket onsale times:

Frontier Touring presale – Thursday 13 July from 10am (local time)

General public onsale – Monday 17 July from 10am (local time)
