The Riptide Movement, heading for Australia in October.
Dublin four-piece The Riptide Movement are riding a wave of success from Ireland into Europe, the USA and now Australia.
Hot on the heels of Hozier, The Script and U2 are The Riptide Movement, boasting a kind of rabble-rousing, blue-collar rock ’n ’roll that is instantly catchy and uplifting.
At home, their first major release for Universal Records Getting Through was a #1 Gold status album. It spawned the hits All Works Out, You and I and Animal and was shortlisted for the Meteor Choice Music Awards Album of the Year.
The lead single All Works Out is a passionate, chiming, sing along anthem of positivity. It’s accompanied by a striking video starring renowned Irish actress Amy Huberman, wife of rugby star Brian O’Driscoll, that’s already racked up over a quarter of a million views and is a glorious calling card for the band.
The song has become a massive Top 10 single and an airplay favourite across several formats. It currently sits in the German radio Top 10 Airplay Chart, was featured in the Discover Ireland worldwide TV campaign and is the summer soundtrack for NBC’s Today Show promos across the United States.
Meanwhile the band continue to break out across Europe with appearances at major festivals in the UK, Ireland, Germany and Spain. Australia is about to get a taste of the movement also with a headline tour this October to support the album release here.
All Works Out has just been released in Australia and they kick off their debut Aussie tour in Brisbane on Friday, October 23.
The tour date are as follows:
Fri Oct 23, The Triffid, Brisbane
Sat Oct 24, Max Watts, Melbourne
Thurs Oct 29, The Metro, Sydney
Fri Oct 30, The Gov, Adelaide
Sat Oct 31, The Astor, Perth
