G Flip Launching The Dream Ride World Tour
(2b) This week acclaimed singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist G Flip has announced an extensive headline world tour. Dubbed The Dream Ride Tour, dates kick off in the US at The Van Buren in Phoenix, AZ on September 9th, continuing through major US and Canadian markets including New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more, before heading to the UK, and Australia. Ticket pre-sales begin this Wednesday, July 16th, with general on-sale starting this Friday, July 18th at 10am local.
On the tour G comments, "I'm stoked to be hitting the road later this year for the Dream Ride Tour! I'm cooking up lots of surprises and drum solos, it's going to be so much fun."
Just last week, G Flip announced their highly anticipated third studio album, Dream Ride, arriving September 5th via AWAL Recordings. To herald the announcement, they shared their reflective new single "In Another Life," which arrived alongside a visualizer. Built for scream-singing in your car or belting at a live show, "In Another Life" received praise from Rolling Stone who hailed it as a "song you need to know." Dream Ride will include previously released tracks "Disco Cowgirl" and "Big Ol' Hammer." "Disco Cowgirl" debuted in May to widespread acclaim, earning praise from Billboard, Entertainment Tonight, Rolling Stone, and GLAAD, who crowned it the "song of the summer." In June, the rip-roaring, unapologetically queer anthem "Big Ol' Hammer," arrived alongside a wildly entertaining music video inspired by Grease Lightnin'. Directed by Anne-Sophie Bine, the video features G Flip and a crew of queer icons performing a choreographed dance in G's Lez Go! Auto shop, with a hilarious cameo by comedian Fortune Feimster and appearances from Shannon Beveridge, Jacqueline Toboni, Aisha Dee, Kath Ebbs, Siena Liggins, Niki Demar, Julianne Hope, Jesse Thomas, K Sotomayor, Olly Elyte, and Hina Sabatine.
Revving the engine on a thrilling new album era, Dream Ride finds the Melbourne-born, LA-based musical polymath playing every instrument and teaming back up with co-writer/producer Aidan Hogg to create an album that both unpacks their experience as a queer, non-binary artist and is unabashedly inspired by Bruce Springsteen, late-night drives around Los Angeles, '80s reverb, and maximalist drums.
Next up, G Flip will appear at Montreal Pride later this summer, and perform at festivals including both the Washington, DC and New York City editions of All Things Go Music Festival later this year. A complete list of upcoming live dates and ticket information can be found HERE.
Dream Ride follows G Flip's celebrated 2023 sophomore LP DRUMMER. Highlighted by tracks including "Be Your Man," "The Worst Person Alive," and "Good Enough," the album shot to #1 on the ARIA charts and was named triple j's best album of the year. In 2024, G Flip released their sensational cover of Taylor Swift's "Cruel Summer" - earning approval from Taylor herself. They spent most of the year on their massive DRUMMER Tour which sold over 65,000 tickets across the world. The tour included sold out runs in the US, UK and Australia, performances at Governor's Ball, Hangout Fest, Reading and Leeds, co-headline shows with The Beaches, a surprise guest appearance from Mike Shinoda, and an ARIA award for the Best Live Act.
G Flip has cemented their status as a truly singular voice in modern music, and is becoming the role model they never had growing up. They match their potent musicianship with sonic originality and a fantastically outspoken point-of-view.
