Anberlin to tour Australia in September
Floridian 5-piece, Anberlin will celebrate their 10th anniversary by bringing brand new anthems and a pair of international support bands, The Maine and William Beckett (The Academy Is), to Australia this September.
Anberlin’s live show is a force to be reckoned with. Such a massive part of the band’s continued success and the basis of their creative inspiration; their live performances manage to exude warmth and intimacy regardless of venue. It’s reassuring given the
band has progressed from some of Australia’s most intimate club venues to some of the country’s biggest stages.
Stephen Christian from Anberlin admits that the band’s history of raucous live shows was a huge inspiration for the recording of the band’s sixth studio album Vital- released last October. “I recognize now that what I love the most about Anberlin is the high energy, the high momentum, the veins that are popping from necks when the fans scream along,” the singer admits. It’s with that intense energy in mind that Anberlin infused their new album with the same vigor. “That’s the most fun. That is where I feel like Anberlin exists, in those kind of situations. And I think that’s where we excel.”
Australian crowds are certainly in no position to disagree. Their last Australian tour - on which they revolutionised the tried and tested live performance format by including acoustic songs, covers, requests and even live QnAs - was a massive success. Their promise to linger at their merch table after each performance, to greet every adoring crowd member, remains the stuff of fan faction and has set the bar impossibly high for their peers. Who knows what inspired performances they may extend to their loyal Australian fanbase on their eighth visit to our shores.
