TOURING : The Presets

They swept Australian music's night of nights, the ARIA Awards, last year, picking up six of the pointy silver gongs, they also picked up the 2008 J Award for 'album of the year' for their long-player 'Apocalypso'. That album peaked at No.1 on the ARIA albums chart and has notched up sales of more than 140,000 copies in Australia alone since it's release in April last year. Whichever way you look at it, 2008 saw unprecedented success for Kim and Julian. Move through to early 2009 and the boys have announced an Australian tour which will take in dates in all states except the Northern Territory throughout May and June. Van She and Architecture In Helsinki will join the boys as support for selected dates. Tickets for all dates go on sale on Wednesday March 18.
