YOU ME AT SIX Start Final Australian Tour This Week - 20 Years Of Rock With JOSH FRANCESCHI

You Me At Six are set to kick off their Australian tour this week,
starting in Brisbane on January 24. The run of shows - that extends
through Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth - will feature very
special guests Holding Absence, the band British rock bible
Kerrang! labelled as British rock’s “new leading light”.
YOU ME AT SIX are one of the most beloved British rock bands of all
time, having delivered multiple number 1 albums, dominating charts,
racking up hundreds of millions of streams, selling out arenas and
headlining festivals; and along the way crafting some of the
catchiest pop-rock anthems of their generation. Bite My Tongue,
Take on the World, Underdog, Beautiful Way, Room to Breathe… the
list of classics seems almost endless. The band’s revival of
infectious and spirited pop-rock earned them a mass of fans
worldwide, seeing them sell out show after show across the
globe.
Choosing to bring such a storied 20-year career to an end cannot be
easy. Doing so with your original line-up, on your own terms, and
with the band members remaining best of friends is unheard of. But
as the saying goes, go out at the top of your game and You Me At
Six are certainly doing that.
Having shocked the rock world recently by announcing their imminent
demise, the band are setting out on their greatest tour, delivering
a career-spanning 2-hour set and determined to leave the fans with
a truly special performance to remember them by. “We’ve got a plan
to play songs from every single album and make it a real victory
lap. And everyone feels like that. We’ve looked at the setlists and
gone, ‘Cool – those five can stay, the rest is going to be stuff we
haven’t done for years. We want to have 50 songs ready to go so
that each night we can constantly mix it up and make it
special.”
“When we started YMAS we were kids. We only ever wanted to travel
and to experience life as a group of friends. We feel like on the
eve of our 20th anniversary as a band, now is a good time to call
time. “We’re in a fortunate position where our fans still want to
see us live and come celebrate the life of this band. So that is
what we will do for 2024 and 2025. We can’t wait to see our fans on
the road.” explains frontman Josh Franceschi.
Dave Griffiths caught up with Josh to find out a little more about
what to expect and how much fun the band plans to have on their
final tour to this country.
