Frontier Touring wish to advise that alt-J’s The Dream Tour and An Awesome Wave 10th anniversary album shows are rescheduled to April-May 2023.
“Due to the new and evolving logistical challenges of touring in a post pandemic world, we have sadly, after much debate, been forced to reschedule the Australian & New Zealand leg of The Dream tour to 2023. We are so sorry to disappoint all our fans down under who have already bought tickets for these shows, expecting them to take place next month. You have always been so supportive and we are really looking forward to seeing you next year.” alt-J
Touring New Zealand and Australia in support of their critically acclaimed 2022 release The Dream, plus two very special live performances of their 2012 ARIA Platinum selling and UK Mercury-prize winning debut album, An Awesome Wave, alt-J will now take to the stage in Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth in April-May 2023.
Tickets to the rescheduled 2023 dates are on sale now via frontiertouring.com/altj and frontiertouring.com/anawesomewave.

Tickets for the original performances will be valid for the rescheduled dates without taking further action. Patrons unable to attend new show dates may obtain a full refund. Refund requests must be submitted to the official ticketing agent prior to Wednesday 28 September 2022.
Unfortunately, alt-J won’t be able to play their scheduled Adelaide Entertainment Centre show on the 2023 run and hope to return to South Australia soon.
Ticketholders for the Adelaide show need take no further action and will be contacted directly via the original ticketing agency to advise on refunds.
About alt-J
alt-J are one of the most successful British bands of the millennium. Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Sonny Green have released four studio albums that, between them, have sold in excess of two million copies and their songs have been streamed over two and a half billion times. Their 2012 Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Award-winning debut An Awesome Wave, was followed two years later by their number one, GRAMMY and BRIT Award-nominated album This Is All Yours. Released in 2017, RELAXER flew straight into the top 10 of the UK albums chart ahead of a summer of major international shows – including a headline show at London’s O2 Arena and headline performances at numerous festivals – and became their second album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize.
In Australia, all four of alt-J’s albums have debuted in the ARIA top ten – An Awesome Wave (#9 peak), This Is All Yours (#2 peak), RELAXER (#4 peak) and The Dream (#6 peak).
An Awesome Wave (2022 reissue) is available on white vinyl and other formats (via Liberator Music here).
