Future Islands Tickets

The band will kick things off in Perth playing The Rechabite, before heading to Powerhouse in Brisbane and Forum in Melbourne, followed by a trip across the pond to play Auckland’s Powerstation. Additionally, Future Islands will be playing New Zealand Festivals Splore and Electric Avenue, plus a very special Sydney show, with more details to come….

As Long As You Are looks to the past as well as the future, confronting old ghosts and embracing a new hope. It is an album about trust, full of honesty, redemption and “letting go”, allowing old wounds to heal and bringing painful chapters to a close. Signalling a new era for Future Islands, touring drummer Mike Lowry officially joined as a fully-fledged member and songwriter bolstering the founding trio of William Cashion, Samuel T. Herring and Gerrit Welmers. Given time to allow the songs to slowly come to life, these eleven new songs of post wave synth-pop are as euphoric and uninhibitedly joyful as anything the band has done in their 14-year career. 

Tickets for the headline dates will go on general sale Thursday 3 November at 10am local time. Eager fans can gain access to early tickets by signing up to the promoter pre-sale here: https://bit.ly/fi23_ht(Opens in new tab)

"Future Islands stun once again with their sparkling synthpop that is equal parts melancholic and uplifting." - STACK

"Brimming with confidence and dripping with arena-sized existential anthems... As Long as You Are is the rejuvenated sound of a band who finally found what they are looking for." - Loud and Quiet

"A work of incredible density, and yet, it feels so light. A remarkable dichotomy." - Scenestr“One of the most anticipated albums of the season.” – Consequence of Sound“This album feels like the next step in their story, with more deeply felt New Romantic intensity than ever.” – Rolling Stone
