new Midnight Oil album and final (?) tour

Details here.

No American dates as of yet.

I saw the Oils at the Woodlands Pavilion in Houston (a beautiful outdoor theater) on the Blue Sky Mining tour, and it was incredible. I'd love to see them again before they quit touring. Doubtful they'd come to Austin, though.

Thanks for this.

All the concert dates are in Australia and NZ. Seems they last toured North America in 2017 (and did not go anywhere near Austin at that time).

It seems unlikely they'll do a full scale tour here again. Maybe New York and L.A.

I attempted to buy tickets to the Atlanta show back in 2017, but I waited too long. I found out later that it sold out quickly. I've seen them twice otherwise (1993 and 2000) but would love one last time.

As for the new music, I'm looking forward to it. The recent stuff I've heard from them is pretty good.

I'm glad I saw the 2017 tour since I'm guessing that will prove to be their final North American touring, and I'd never seen them. It was a cathartic experience.

No Seattle date ... and if it pops up after the Vancouver one, it's likely to conflict with my Joe Jackson tickets.

Oh well, the memory of their 1990 show at Red Rocks would be hard to top.

I plan to buy tickets for the show at National Harbor, but I cannot for the life of me think of a less appropriate venue than an upscale casino on the inaccessible (by Metro) suburbs in Prince George's County, Maryland.

Has anyone heard the new album? Musically, it's solid, and while it contains "classic" sounding Oils, there are some new sounds as well that I really like. But the lyrics...I don't think they've ever been as heavy-handed and preachy.

I got the tickets for the June show outside of Washington. I can't imagine it will be too heavy on their newest material, although I did think that The Makkaratta Project was surprisingly good.
