It’s certainly been a momentous 18 months for The Presets, solidifying their position as a musical force to be reckoned with following the release of their critically and commercially acclaimed sophomore album. Apocalypso topped several ‘album of 2008’ lists – including right here on inthemix – and it also scored them several ARIA awards.

Fresh from rocking the mainstage at Good Vibrations last month, before Kim and Julian take a well earned rest from the spotlight and lock themselves away to begin work on album number three they’re heading out on one last tour. True to form, it’ll be their biggest ever headline jaunt around the country, playing arena-sized shows in all capital cities and major regional centers.

Many of the shows are all ages, and tickets are set to go onsale Wednesday March 18th. Supports include Architecture In Helsinki, Van She and Wolf & Cub, so stay tuned for details on specific lineups for each show in the coming weeks.
