UK rockers Wunderhorse have revealed two Australian headline shows in 2025 alongside their scheduled performances in support of Fontaines D.C. The band will play at Metro Theatre Sydney on March 4 before concluding their sizeable AU/NZ tour at Meow in Wellington.
The dates come as part of a larger trip to the Southern hemisphere alongside Fontaines D.C. which sees them take formidable venues like Brisbane’s Riverstage, Sydney Opera House and Auckland’s Spark Arena.
Wunderhorse’s 2024 album Midas follows the band’s acclaimed 2022 debut, Cub, and sets them up as one of British guitar music’s most exciting outfits. Recorded at Minnesota’s Pachyderm Studio (birthplace of Nirvana’s In Utero and PJ Harvey’sRid Of Me) with producer Craig Silvey, the album reached 6 in the UK charts and preceded their biggest headline tour to date, as well as an arena tour support slot with Sam Fender in December.
Adopting an organic, unpolished recording process, Midas captures the visceral atmosphere of Wunderhorse’s raucous live performances.
“We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amp,” frontman Jacob Slater told The Guardian. “No frills, no polish – just pure, uncut rock’n’roll.”
Indeed, the album’s rugged hooks, unfiltered noise, and fierce melodic sensitivity set Wunderhorse up for a year that will see them firmly established as an endlessly addictive and rousing generational talent.
