Known for their raucousness on the stage as much as their imagination in the studio, The Delta Riggs have announced they will celebrate the release of their new album, Active Galactic, with a massive national tour.

Active Galactic was produced by the Melbourne band with James Hollis and features 13 new tracks that, much like their previous album Dipz Zebazios, spans the gamut of musical genres from disco-flavoured rock, to hip-hop-infused indie.

“After nine days, cocktails at 5pm, suits at 6pm, a few minor disagreements and some intergalactic good times later – we had finished what we believe to be our finest work to date. Then we went to LA, which is a whole other story,” explains Monte.

The album is set to drop 26th August via Inertia Music and is available for pre-order now. Meanwhile, the band will kick off their gigantic national tour this September with a performance at the Prince of Wales in Bunbury.
