UK post-punk outfit Dry Cleaning have announced their long-awaited return to Australia and New Zealand, with a run of festival appearances and headline shows this May and June.

The tour follows the January release of their new album Secret Love, produced by Cate Le Bon. The record arrives as the band’s latest release after their acclaimed albums New Long Leg (2021) and Stumpwork (2022), which they last toured in the region in late 2022.

Across the run, Dry Cleaning will perform festival sets at Vivid LIVE at the Sydney Opera House (May 29) and RISING Melbourne at Forum Melbourne (May 30). Additional headline dates include a show at Civic Hall Ballarat on June 7, following New Zealand performances at Meow Nui (June 2) and Hollywood Avondale for Strange Universe (June 3).

Tickets for the festival appearances are available through the Sydney Opera House and RISING websites. Pre-sale tickets for the headline shows will be available via MG Live from March 13, with general sales opening March 16.
