Renowned for their epic live shows, both sonically and visually, The Dandy Warhols will return to Australia and New Zealand this November and December for the Pin Ups tour.
Nearly three decades into a career built on doing things their own way, The Dandy Warhols continue to push into new territory. The tour will open with a special one-night-only collaboration alongside the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra at Hobart’s Odeon Theatre, transforming songs from their remarkable catalogue into an immersive orchestral experience before the band returns to its trademark live show for the remainder of the tour, culminating with an appearance at the legendary Meredith Festival.
Following two acclaimed performances with the Oregon Symphony, The Dandy Warhols will bring their symphony concept to Australia for the very first time. Courtney Taylor-Taylor says of the collaboration, “The Oz tour is right around the corner and we are getting very pumped about it. This one starts in Tasmania with the Symphony there, that will be a mind expanding trip. Then we hit all our favourite cities, or most of them, including some New Zealand shows.“
The tour also celebrates the release of Pin Ups, the band’s new covers album released earlier this year. Pin Ups is a carefully curated collection of music that helped shape The Dandy Warhols themselves, featuring their take on of songs by everyone from The Beatles, The Byrds, The Clash and Bob Dylan through to The Cure, Gang Of Four, The Cramps, The Cult, The Damned, Marilyn Manson and more.
