The War On Drugs 2023 Australian Tour Setlists

Adam Granduciel and his comrades in The War On Drugs are back for their first tour of Australia since 2018. The American band released its fifth studio album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, in 2021. They’re joined on the Australian tour by Texas indie rock band Spoon, who haven’t been here since 2017, and Australian singer-songwriter Indigo Sparke.

The tour begins with two dates at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt, followed by performances at major outdoor venues in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. It’ll bring a close to two years of hard graft for The War On Drugs, who’ve conducted extensive tours of the USA, UK, Canada, Mexico and Europe since the release of I Don’t Live Here Anymore.
