If you attended the Corona SunSets tour in 2015 with The Preatures, then you’ll know the memo: Live music and free-flowing Coronas at intimate pubs and venues across the country. Oh yeah, did we mention that all of the gigs are free? Since emerging in 2011, it’s been non-stop for The Rubens, who dominated the ARIA charts with their self-titled debut album – eventually earning platinum certification and a nomination for The J Award.

While they didn’t nab that accolade from Triple J, The Rubens came roaring back in 2015 – beating out the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Major Lazer for the coveted gold medal in the Hottest 100. The track in question is ‘Hoops’, the title track from their sophomore album which has sent them on sold-out tours across Australia. Throw in a collaboration with the Godfathers of Australian Dance Music, The Meeting Tree, and The Rubens are simply one of the most in-demand acts in the country.
That’s what makes this upcoming tour so special – it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to see The Rubens this up close and personal ever again. Kicking off in Sydney on November 11 and ending in Perth on December 12, it’s a month of solid tunes across capital cities and regional centres – a tour that’s sure to champion not only The Rubens, but some of the amazing watering holes the country has to offer.
Grab a cool Corona and enjoy The Rubens in all of their live (and free) glory at the dates below. More info here:
