If there was one song that defined Sydney’s summers around 2020, it would have to be “Heat Waves” by the British band Glass Animals. This synth-heavy, cinematic hit not only topped the Australian singles chart for six consecutive weeks but also became the soundtrack for countless TikTok videos of Sydney’s NYE celebrations, clinching the title of Triple J’s Hottest 100 winner for 2020.
Fast forward almost four years, after a memorable performance at 2022’s Splendour in the Mud and a surprise pop-up show at Liberty Hall in May, Glass Animals are turning up the heat again with an Australian tour this November, including a spectacular show at the Sydney Opera House forecourt.

Glass Animals Australian Tour
Following 44 shows across North America, Europe, and the UK, which will culminate in a 20,000-capacity show at London’s O2 Arena on November 7, Glass Animals will head to Australia. They’ll be gracing our sunny shores with a tour that promises to heavily feature their soon-to-be-released fourth studio album, I Love You So F**ing Much* (ILYSFM), due out on July 19. Described as “an expansive record about love in all its shapes and forms,” ILYSFM might just become another summer soundtrack, and the thought of experiencing it live at the Opera House sounds pretty amazing to us.
When and Where will Glass Animals Perform their Australian Tour?
Glass Animals will kick off their Australian tour in Melbourne on Wednesday, November 20, followed by Brisbane on Friday, November 22. Their final Australian show will be in Sydney on Tuesday, November 26, at the city’s most iconic venue: the forecourt of the Sydney Opera House.
