After confirming their now legendary status by instantly selling out a run of dates earlier this year, Australia’s favourite electronic producers Flight Facilities today announce another huge national tour in support of gorgeous new single All Your Love.
Still riding high on the back of the success of recent release Need You, the boys will be showing off their much loved back catalogue and a red hot string of new hits at shows all across the country this August and September....
Four years on from debut album Down To Earth, Flight Facilities could be forgiven for taking some time off to put their feet up. As far as debuts go, theirs was a bonanza. Spawning two symphony concerts, an ARIA award, a Top 5 chart placing and two of the most recognisable Australian dance works of a generation in Crave You and Clair De Lune, the record was a runaway success for the duo.
Not wanting to rest on their laurels and feed the industry beast, the boys decided their next move was to buck the album trend and focus on releasing singles rather than long form projects.
The first salvo was last years Arty Boy, a collaboration with Brisbane songstress Emma Louise that showcased a smooth change in direction, tipping it’s hat ever so slightly to Prince while still maintaining a classic Flight Facilities vibe.
Next cab off the rank was Stranded, an instant classic collaboration created with an international dream team consisting of Broods, Reggie Watts, Saro and instrumentation by Davide Rossi, Touch Sensitive and Stella Mozgawa of Warpaint. This was followed by the currently rotating Need You and now the brand new All Your Love featuring Dustin Tebbutt - a track that somehow manages to fold everything great about Flight Facilities into 4 and a half minutes of glacially building brilliance.
Hitting some of Australia’s most iconic venues, the extensive All Your Love tour will give punters a chance to drink in these newest concoctions at shows in Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Melbourne.
This is an 18+ event. General Admission Tickets On Sale: Thursday 6th 2018 1pm
* Over 18's only unless advertised otherwise. * Photo ID is essential,­ acceptable ID is a current and valid Australian Photo Drivers Licence or Passport.

Malcolm Turnbull's bio begins with his great grandfather in the fledgling colony of Sydney, back then known as 'Brisbane'. It details Malcolm's early years, though few records about his 8th week as a foetus are available.
Nonetheless, two thirds of the show is devoted to that specific week. The rest focusses on Malcolm's triumph after triumph adult life. Well may you ask, 'Is our PM actually Vinny from Entourage?'. Years ago, Jordan physically bumped into Malcolm. MT reeled ...back, delicately wailing, "MAHahaw", as though a plague-ridden pleb had sneezed. Since that day, Jordan has been dissecting the origins of MT's response. Now he believes that fate has inextricably linked him with MT to tiptoe this velvety biographical path together. Malcolm knows you love him...so this show you'll love.
Jordan Shanks (friendlyjordies) is a satirist comedian, live radio host and podcast creator. He has been described as "irreverent", "surreal" and "some guy who got a cheap camera from K-Mart".
He has produced over 250 no-holds-barred videos for his YouTube channel with 250,000 followers. Jordan hopes he will foster some sort of interest in socio-political discourse, maybe even stir positive change, but most people keep asking him to dress up as a high school kid he once knew. Sometimes he complies.

It's been fifteen years since the now infamous hooks and riffs of JET's debut album Get Born were unleashed on the world, and in celebration the band will tour Australia in May and June on the Get Re-Born tour.
With global sales of more than 6.5 million albums, Get Born was certified 10 times platinum in Australia and spawned the singles that made Jet famous the world over - Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Look What You've Done, Rollover DJ and Get Me Outta Here. Added to the accla...im were six ARIA Award wins, but the unparalleled success of Get Born at home was only one part of the story. Jet topped the US Modern Rock singles charts and toured worldwide with the likes of the Rolling Stones and Oasis while headlining festivals and reaching #1 on charts globally.
Jet said, "We're really excited to play Get Born in full for the first time ever. The idea of playing this album and celebrating 15 years since began our journey is something that's very special to us, and we can't wait to get out there and see old friends again, and meet plenty of new ones as well."
