Dear Seattle Announce National Tour to Celebrate ARIA-Topping Album ‘TOY’

Sydney indie rock favourites Dear Seattle have announced a massive national tour this May, hot on the heels of their ARIA #1 Australian Album and ARIA #4 overall placement for their acclaimed third studio album, TOY’.

The band’s latest release marks a bold creative leap, blending punchy riffs with melodic hooks and introspective lyrics that explore themes of growth, relationships, and personal evolution. Featuring standout singles like Evergreen, Say What You Want, and Counting Hours, TOY made an immediate impact, racking up 50,000 Spotify streams on release day and becoming the only Australian-made album to crack the ARIA Top 50 that week.

Dear Seattle are promising their most ambitious live shows yet.

“We’ve been putting in the hard yards to ensure this tour is the absolute best you’ve ever seen [from] DS. We always put in everything, but this time we wanna push the boundaries of what we’ve done in the past and make this album tour the most memorable one yet. We can’t wait to see you there!” – Dear Seattle.
