Lake Street Dive Announce Australian Tour

Roundhouse Entertainment, in conjunction with Frontier Touring, is thrilled to announce acclaimed five-piece band LAKE STREET DIVE will return to Australia in March 2025 for their first Australian shows in eight years. The band will kick off their tour in spectacular style, with the first show announced for the 2025 Live At The Gardens series at the iconic Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne on Saturday 15 March, 2025.

The Brooklyn-based US band – best described as the original cross-pollination of soul, folk, jazz and classic pop – will play their only Melbourne show at Live At The Gardens on Saturday 15 March, as well as shows in Sydney, Brisbane and Fremantle.  

Joining LAKE STREET DIVE at Live At The Gardens will be Melbourne musician – and space enthusiast – BATTS. 

  
Formed in Boston, LAKE STREET DIVE first met while studying jazz at the New England Conservatory of Music. Their breakout album Bad Self Portraits was released in 2014, followed by Side Pony (2016), Free Yourself Up (2018), Obviously (2021), Fun Machine: The Sequel (2022) – a six-track covers EP with songs by Bonnie Raitt, The Pointer Sisters and Carole King, among others – and their most recent, Good Together (2024), out now via Concord Records.

"From the moment the Boston quintet strolled onto the Orpheum stage, everyone in the theatre knew what was coming was going to be awesome."

BATTS is Melbourne-based musician – and space enthusiast – Tanya Batt, who has just released her third album, Just My Luck. "I feel like there is a little something for everyone on this album," she says. "The first half is more upbeat and punchy and then it takes a more melancholy turn." Known for blending folk and rock with inspiration drawn from space and literature, she has previously incorporated NASA space mission samples into her music.
