In February 2027, DEL AMITRI return to Australia and New Zealand with Past to Present: Four Decades of Their Greatest Hits a celebratory tour showcasing the songs that defined their remarkable career, from early indie beginnings to international chart success.
Formed in Glasgow in 1982 by Justin Currie, Del Amitri found their long?term creative backbone in guitarist Iain Harvie, whose presence has been central to the band’s sound for decades. Their breakthrough came with the 1989 album Waking Hours, featuring the enduring hit ‘Nothing Ever Happens’ and the deliciously catchy ‘Kiss This Thing Goodbye.’ The early ’90s brought further global recognition with ‘Always the Last to Know’ and their biggest US success, ‘Roll to Me,’ which reached Number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains a worldwide jukebox favourite.
Across seven studio albums, Del Amitri have sold over six million records, earning a reputation for sharp songwriting, wry lyricism and melodic, emotionally resonant rock that continues to connect across generations.
After a hiatus in the 2000s, the band returned for sold?out reunion tours and, in 2021, released Fatal Mistakes, their first collection of new music in 18 years, reaffirming their signature sound for both long?time fans and new listeners. Del Amitri are currently in the studio recording their new album which is set for a release later this year.
In 2027, the band celebrates their legacy with a powerful, career?spanning Australian tour Past to Present: Four Decades of Their Greatest Hits.
