With their effortlessly cool viral hit ‘Blame Brett’ landing in countless ‘2023 Best Of’ lists, Toronto four-piece The Beaches are a musical force to be reckoned with, a testament to the power of sisterhood and friendship.

How could you not be obsessed? Frontier Touring is pleased to announce the award-winning Canadian band are headed to Australia in May, performing three East Coast headline shows: The Lansdowne, Sydney; The Zoo, Brisbane and Melbourne’s Howler.

Having opened for the likes of The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Passion Pit and more, today’s tour news comes off the back of the band’s addition to the line-up of Groovin’ The Moo festival. After more than a decade together as a band, sisters Jordan Miller (lead vocals, bass) and Kylie Miller (guitar), plus closest friends Leandra Earl (guitar and keys) and Eliza Enman-McDaniel (drums), are entering a bold new era… as witnessed on their acclaimed release, Blame My Ex. 

Channelling heartbreak into self-discovery through 10 exuberant songs that revel in pain and redemption, on their latest album the Toronto band earned more than 30 million streams on Spotify and more than 10 million views on TikTok with their winsome lead single ‘Blame Brett’. The acerbic pop-rock knockout track was immediately championed by media worldwide upon release, a viral hit which saw them win over avowed fans such as Sir Elton John, and other celebs like the Jonas Brothers (who invited The Beaches onstage to perform it at one of their concerts in November), and Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, who can be seen singing along to the track on TikTok. Doing everything their way, the breakout song helped see the band sell out iconic venues including Toronto’s Massey Hall, Brooklyn’s Williamsburg Music Hall, Los Angeles’s Troubadour and more on the first leg of their Blame My Ex tour in October-December 2023, when they hit the road across the UK, USA and Canada. They even teamed up with Aussie pal G-Flip for US shows in December.

With their first of two Juno Award wins taking place back in 2018 – when they won Breakthrough Group of the Year, courtesy of their debut Late Show (produced by Metric’s Emily Haines) – 2024 is set to be a huge year for the girls, who have pencilled in sets at Bonnaroo, Hangout, Rock Werchter, and Bottlerocket festivals to name just a few.
