Raave Tapes Announce August National Album Tour!
With the release of their highly anticipated debut album in May, RAAVE TAPES officially entered their most confident era as artists to date.
The album, RAAVE TAPES, came brandishing some of the duo’s most diverse and creative sounds including singles ‘I Just Wanna Be Alone’, ‘k hi’ and ‘Braces’ – music that makes the listener simply want to move.
Thankfully the wait for that opportunity is soon to be over, with RAAVE TAPES announcing national album tour dates, kicking off in Sydney this August. Taking in shows in some of the country’s most beloved venues, RAAVE TAPES are set to bring a special new show to fans and newcomers alike – primed to showcase just how dynamic the self-titled record is.
Of the national tour, RAAVE TAPES have said, “Releasing an album has been a monumental moment for us & we can’t wait to celebrate it with all of our friends. This record was made for the dancefloor & holding your loved ones tight. Let’s party rock.”
Coming out of Newcastle, RAAVE TAPES have developed a strong reputation as both recording artists and live performers in recent years. Producing insatiable music that has leaned easily into club territory as it has to festival stages around the country, RAAVE TAPES have proven time and again that their vision represents an exciting approach to fresh and modern alt-pop. With over80k streams across platforms to date, RAAVE TAPES have built on such a presence with a loyal following that continues to grow.

PRAISE
“A debut from a Newcastle duo who pay homage to everyone from 3OH!3 to 100 Gecs in these brash, bratty tracks pumped full of nervy adrenaline.”
THE GUARDIAN
“On their self-titled debut album, they trade their gritty dance-punk sound for pure hyperpop to get you moving.”
ROLLING STONE AUSTRALIA
“Always so much love for Raave Tapes on the triple j text line whenever a song gets dropped in.This one reminded me of Passion Pit or maybe even Nero?!?! at times?!?! Giving me big festival set energy nonetheless. Love it.”
CLAIRE MOONEY, TRIPLE J
“Stripped back indie dance early 2000s throwback VOIBES – a really nice time all round.”
LUKA MULLER, TRIPLE J
“This one really grabbed me! The build up of the track to that hammering, heavy electro finish was really beautiful. Feels like a cathartic main character moment in a TV show like Skins or Heartbreak High.”
KAILYN CRABBE, TRIPLE J
“RAAVE TAPES are really capturing something here!! The production on ‘I Just Wanna Be Alone’ is gorge. Love love love.”
JORDAN BARR, TRIPLE J
“Okay totally not what I was expect but I’m intrigued <3 LOVE hearing RAAVE TAPES push the boundaries of their sound!”
ANIKA LUNA, TRIPLE J UNEARTHED
