“Ash rule. They are geniuses. Gods maybe” (NME)

Northern Ireland’s ASH bring their high-energy, punky pop genius back down under for The Singles Tour

The band recently released their acclaimed eighth and UK Top 20 album Race The Night, it marks the band’s first album in five years and also, features new live favourite Like A Godwhich they can’t wait to play live alongside all the anthems we know and love.

Join ASH and their indie pop zest that we all know and love on The Singles Tour

Recent Praise for Ash Live:

“Their Set is a speeding cavalcade of hits; the cascading riffs of Petrol into a Firebrand Jack Names The Planets; Angel Interceptor giving way to the severed brakes romance of A Life Less Ordinary.  When new song Crashed Out Wasted delves into the downside of chasing one’s youth to the bottom of every bottle is a moment of bliss-pop respite from a torrent of classics” (Mark Beaumont)

“This crack commando, buzz rock trio” (NME)

“Wheeler was as animated as ever, waving his famous Flying V around, bassist Mark Hamilton was all across the stage, and drummer Rick McMurray was furious and faultless behind the kit” (Scenestr)

“One of the most exciting live bands you’ve ever witnessed” (Rate Your Music)

“The entire venue now a heaving mass of smiling faces and sweaty bodies” (Golden Plec)
