Birds of Tokyo and WASO announce “Birdsongs”

One of Australia’s most beloved bands, Birds of Tokyo are set to team up with WASO, alongside the Queensland, Tasmanian, Melbourne and Sydney Symphony Orchestras for an electrifying concert experience called “Birdsongs”.

Fans will enjoy the soaring melodies and raw energy of classic anthems including "Plans", "Lanterns", “Good Lord” and "Anchor", alongside new songs, all reimagined with stunning arrangements by acclaimed orchestrator, Nicholas Buc, who will also conduct all dates.

The tour will weave around Australia during August and September, visiting the country’s most prestigious live venues starting with hometown shows at Perth Concert Hall on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 August.

Birds of Tokyo have cemented their place as Australia’s most successful contemporary rock band. Capturing the hearts of music fans with three chart-topping albums, the band has appeared multiple times at iconic events including the AFL Grand Final and has won APRA’s ‘Rock Work of the Year’ an extraordinary seven times. But it's their concerts that truly set them apart - from explosive energy to spine-tingling moments of intimacy, Birds of Tokyo are captivating live performers whose sweeping and dynamic songs are a powerful match for a full symphony orchestra.

The band previously collaborated with WASO in 2021 for world premiere performances of their greatest songs, fully orchestrated. “Birdsongs” sees Birds of Tokyo expand these extraordinary live shows, adding new songs and collaborating with more orchestras to bring the concert experience to five venues across the country.

“We are beyond excited to be working with Australia’s finest musicians like this”, said Birds of Tokyo founding member, Adam Spark. “It’s like a dream come true for us and we can’t wait to create something really special together.”
