Hallelujah! Ya boys The Rubens just announced a new national tour before the end of the year. But let me lay it down for you. There’ll be no jumping through hoops to get to these gigs because they are… FREE.

The boys from Menangle are paying their respects to the good people of Australia who helped get their song, ‘Hoops’, to the number one spot on the Hottest 100 in 2015, by performing a whole bunch of shows around the country, and in the country. That’s right. This isn’t just your typical capital cities tour.

19 shows will be played around the nation, from Towradgi on the east coast to Bunbury on the west in all sorts of seaside taverns, pubs, clubs and corner hotels. All with a little help from Corona Sunsets. What a dream.

Here are the dates, kids. Whip out your calendars and jot them down.
