A Kids In Glass Houses Farewell Australian Tour 2014 has been announced.

After 13 years, four albums, 14 singles, countless headline tours, thousands of satisfied punters, and a series of colossal festival appearances, Welsh rockers Kids In Glass Houses decided to call it a day.

Breaking the news to their fans this past February, Kids In Glass Houses’ final global trek comes after the band’s fourth and final album, 2013’s Peace, a boundlessly entertaining collection of songs that proves beyond all doubt, that Aled, Iain, guitarist Joel Fisher, bassist Andrew Sheehy and drummer Philip Jenkins, can write one hell of a tune.

First formed in South Wales in the same fertile scene that also produced the likes of Bullet For My Valentine, Funeral For A Friend, and myriad others, Kids In Glass Houses rapidly rose to prominence after being championed by their peers as talented newcomers. By the time of the release of debut album Smart Casual in 2008 on esteemed rock institution Roadrunner Records, they had a Kerrang! Award nomination and numerous tours already under their collective belt; once it surfaced, things went crazy for the quintet.

Support tours with the likes of Paramore and Fall Out Boy swiftly followed, and before long work had begun on what would become second album Dirt. Daytime radio play, festival main stages and significant press attention would greet its release in 2010, teeing up their shift into darker territories with In Gold Blood the following year, a critically acclaimed head-trip through a fantasy world.

The band’s most recent 2013 offering in fourth album Peace represents the band at their most relaxed and serves as a reminder of what Kids In Glass Houses have achieved thus far and signals a bright new future for them even beyond the end-point of their time together.

Australian fans will be given their last chance to say goodbye to Kids In Glass Houses this August.

Supporting on all shows will be Sydney trio With Confidence. Closing in on close to 32,000 fans on facebook and having sold out their own headlining show in April at Sydney’s The Lair at Metro Theatre, With Confidence have been a force to be reckoned with touring the country continuously since early 2013 and rapidly growing their fan base. Their alternative infused pop rock melodies will make for a perfect addition to the line up.

Don’t miss your chance to bid a fond and live farewell to Kids In Glass Houses.
