There are few bands who can make a song feel like a surreal dream, like a classic midnight movie, like a whisper heard through a wall of a roadside motel. But here we have it… The Delines. Returning to Australia in April smuggling their country-soul noir into bars, ballrooms and theatres across the east coast.
Following two hugely successful Australian tours, Love Police again presents the Portland, Oregon band who will play music from their acclaimed new album The Set Up as well as favourites from the past.
Led by songwriter, novelist and former Richmond Fontaine frontman Willy Vlautin, alongside the extraordinary lead vocalist Amy Boone, The Delines have created a singular world where country, soul, jazz and noir collide. Their songs are populated by characters living on the edges of the American dream – the lonely travellers, damaged romantics, gamblers, addicts, dreamers and people simply trying to make it through another night.
Released in 2026, The Set Up deepens the band’s signature sound, complete with warm organ, understated percussion, soulful guitar, brass and Boone’s unmistakable vocals creating a hypnotic atmosphere filled with melancholy and comfort.
Experience the cinematic dreamscape sounds of The Delines when the band embarks on their third tour of Australia, performing their beautiful songs, strange and slow-burning soulful stories from their extraordinary catalogue this April.
Tickets on sale October 8 at Love Police.
