West Australian indie outfit South Summit have gone from strength to strength over the last few years. Bursting onto the scene in 2021, the 5-piece have found themselves at the forefront of the Australian indie scene, ticking off a long list of bucket list moments (including a headline show at the Sydney Opera House earlier this year) that most young bands can only dream of.
Adding to that list of achievements is the band’s performance this morning on triple J’s Like A Version, which saw the band play through a reggae-focussed version of the 1978 classic Roxanne by The Police. Paired along with a live version of The Bliss‘ single Givin’ It Up, the band’s Like A Version provides a glimpse into The Bliss; an LP that sonically delves into reggae, indie rock and hip-hop styles throughout its eclectic tracklist.
To celebrate the release of The Bliss, the band have announced their Australian and New Zealand headline tour, set for February 2025. Throughout the tour the band will be hitting stages in Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
“We’re super looking forward to our AUS/NZ Album Tour next February/March! These are by far the biggest headline shows we’ve ever played, and we can’t wait to get out there and see everyone again. These shows feel a little extra special though, it’s been a while since we’ve toured the whole country, and showcasing our debut album is something we’ve been looking forward to for a long time. We’ve got a brand new live show for you guys, and plenty more treats for ya! See you guys on the road.” – SOUTH SUMMIT.
