The Waifs Mark 25th Birthday With Huge National Tour And Album

Beloved Aussie folk rockers The Waifs are toasting to their 25th birthday in 2017 and they want to celebrate it with fans on a mammoth national tour this year.

And that's not all — the anniversary arrives with news that the band are releasing their newest studio record, Ironbark, a collection of 25 songs to celebrate a quarter-century in the music biz.

Due for release on 3 March, Ironbark sees The Waifs looking to their fans for inspiration — they've asked fans of the band to email in any stories or moments that the band have soundtracked in your life. If The Waifs' music has played a "significant part in any event or time in your life", email waifsstories@jarrahrecords.com so the band can weave your stories and anecdotes into songs on the upcoming tour.

The tour will kick off on 2 March — just a day before the new album drops — and carry on until 15 April over a huge 25 dates (of course). You can listen to the first song off Ironbark below called Song That Soothes.

The Music is proud to present The Waifs' 25th anniversary tour.
