The Rubens have announced that they’ll celebrate the release of their sophomore album, Hoops, with one of their biggest tours yet.

The 22-date tour will see the alt-rockers play tunes from their new album (due out August 7) as well as old favourites from their critically acclaimed self-titled debut. No strangers to the road, the upcoming run will mark the first time the band have toured nationally since their huge Never Be The Same Tour, which saw them sell out five gigs between the Forum and Enmore theatres.

The Rubens will play the Enmore Theatre on Saturday October 31. Tickets go on sale Wednesday June 17 at 9am through Ticketek.
