Australia, this is serious.
After teasing a new album and flaunting their wares onstage at Good Things Festival in 2022, today TISM return armed with a tantalising trifecta, locking in their first headline run since 2004 this October and November, unveiling a brand new single and video, and confirming the upcoming release of their new studio album. With all three announcements sharing the same name, Death To Art, the upcoming Death To Art Tour is also bound to go down in Australian music history, with TISM set to be joined by fellow Aussie icons ESKIMO JOE, MACHINE GUN FELLATIO, BEN LEE and THE MAVIS’S.
With four of the country’s most iconic acts teaming up for the Death To Art Tour, this historic run of shows will kick off on Sunday 20 October in Brisbane, before heading to Melbourne on Saturday 9 November, and closing out in Sydney on Friday 29 November. Not only marking the extremely anticipated first headline performances in over two decades for TISM, the Death To Art Tour will also see fellow sonic scoundrels MACHINE GUN FELLATIO reform for the first time in 19 years, as well as THE MAVIS’S reforming for the first time in six years.
Releasing a brand new single I’ve Gone Hillsong in 2022 – the group’s first new material in close to 20 years – TISM also teased at the time an album which did not exist. Fast-forward to 2024, and TISM have since released a new EP, 2023’s The “C” Word, complete with caterwauling commentary and chaotic charisma. And, as of today, the beloved unruly collective have ventured into a brand new chapter, unleashing the title track single and video from their forthcoming full-length album Death To Art, officially due out on October 4.
