He’s topped the Triple J Hottest 100, sold out tours across Australia, and set the stage for an international takeover, now Chet Faker is set to embark on his biggest national tour yet, taking over some of Australia’s most iconic venues.

Kicking off this October and powering on through into November, the East Coast Built on Live Tour will see Chet playing his unforgettable tunes at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl and Brisbane’s Riverstage, performing an all-new show.

The tour will feature an expanded band with special guests, never before performed live songs, and he’s also promising “more than a few surprises” along the way. Join Chet as he celebrates his multi-platinum, chart-topping album Built on Glass.

“I’ve played over 200 shows since the album came out, and during that time the songs and the show itself has evolved so much further beyond the recordings,” said Chet. “This tour is a last chance to put everything I’ve learned over the last few years into practice and see the songs played in their full capacity before I put the album to rest.”

To celebrate this new tour and new step in his career, Chet has now premiered a previous unreleased track titled ‘Bend’. Written during the Built on Glass sessions, the track will be released on 19th June via Future Classic in Australia.

“’Bend’ was on Built on Glass until the last minute,” said Chet. “I recorded it in 2013 and kinda wanted to put it out since. It’s always felt like a part of Built on Glass and since this tour is the sort of live “director’s cut” of the album it made sense to release this before it lost context.”

The Frontier Members pre-sale for Chet Faker’s Built on Live Tour runs from Monday, 22nd June, with general public tickets on sale from 12 noon local time Thursday, 25th June. Readers can check below for all dates and ticketing details.
