The Maine

Celebrating 16 years and nine albums, quintessential Arizona rockers The Maine have announced their return to Australia this September for the Sweet Sixteen Tour! 

"We're so excited to bring the Sweet Sixteen tour to Australia," says the band. "It's been two years since we've been back, and we're looking forward to having a longer set packed with so many songs both new and old. Since we saw you last, we've released our self-titled album and been busy touring and celebrating 16 years as The Maine. We knew we couldn't leave our Australian fans out of all the fun, so get your tickets and we'll see you when we're looking at you!"

Hailing from Tempe, Arizona The Maine has matured both personally and sonically from their inception - now sixteen years ago - without compromising their integrity or losing their sincerity along the way. Fans have had the unique opportunity to grow up alongside the band, made possible by the band’s adamant insistence on meeting every single fan for free after each show on a tour. The Maine is John O’Callaghan, Kennedy Brock, Jared****Monaco, Garrett Nickelsen, and Pat Kirch.

The Maine’s ability to continuously flex their creativity and make dynamic records while maintaining their DIY mindset and keeping their authenticity has not gone unnoticed. Over the course of their career, the band has toured and performed at festivals worldwide, including Australia's Soundwave Festival in 2011, as well as headlining their own sold out festival in their hometown.

The Maine welcome first time visitors joan (US) and Brisbane pop rocker FELONY. to the tour to start the party.

Arkansas duo Alan Thomas and Steven Rutherford craft indelible synth-pop with a strong emotional quotient that sounds timeless as they come together to form joan. Thomas and Rutherford are crafting new memories for future generations, and if last year’s debut album 'superglue' is any indication, they’re just getting started. Collecting millions of streams across their dreamy repertoire, joan is an act that's overdue an Australian tour, and an act not to be missed!
