Grinspoon Announce Mammoth Aussie Tour For 20th Anniversary Of 'Guide To Better Living'

In support of the 20th anniversary deluxe edition of their debut album, Guide To Better Living, Aussie legends Grinspoon have announced an epic 27-date tour that will see them play across the country from June-September. 

The post-grunge outfit will play the LP cover-to-cover for their fans in Traralgon, Melbourne, Musgrave, Sydney, Brisbane, Darwin, Geelong, Frankston, Hobart, Cairns, Townsville, Airlie Beach, Noosaville, Redland Bay, Gold Coast, Dunsborough, Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle, Lismore, Ipswich, Bateau Bay, Wollongong, Canberra, Wagga Wagga, Albury and Bateman's Bay.

The shows will be the band's first since they went on hiatus in 2013, excluding their supporting slot on Cold Chisel's 2015 Australian tour. 

Grinspoon will also be joined on the select stops of the Aussie run by Windang duo, Hockey Dad.

The deluxe edition of the album will expand the original 16-track playlist to 49, with live songs and unreleased material to be included on the record, due out on 23 June. 

"I hate nostalgia, it gets my goat," Phil Jamieson said. 

"What I do love are tunes, and we’ve got tunes! NBT, Balding Matters, Scalped are probably what are considered to be album tracks or ‘filler’, but I can’t wait to spit ‘em out with as much venom as I did as a 19 year old. 

Then there is Railroader, Repeat, Just Ace, Champion, Boundary… it’s like a little treasure box of ditties! 

"I don’t think I really knew what I was doing when I made Guide To Better Living, but I know that playing this album from start to finish is going to be one of the most challenging, enjoyable and kickass things I’ll ever do!  Bring on the road, bring on the tour, bring on the shows… happy 20th birthday GTBL!"
