Ten years after pulling off five unforgettable raves in five days after graduating triple j Matt Okine<\/strong> and Alex Dyson<\/strong> are bringing Australia\u2019s biggest party BACK: with a responsible twist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This October, 5 Raves in 5 Days<\/em> returns as a five-city national tour. Celebrating Australian music and the revamp of the Matt and Alex<\/em><\/strong> podcast on LiSTNR<\/a> \u2013 with refreshed show artwork, new segments, and the same trademark comedy that listeners love \u2013 the tour honours the generation that grew up listening to the duo and caters to anyone who thought their best raving days were behind them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining Matt and Alex <\/em>on stage will be a rotating lineup of Australian artists, and special guests, with stops in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, and Melbourne \u2013 the duo ignoring doctor\u2019s orders for gentlemen of their vintage and scheduling the parties across five consecutive nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legionnaire hats are out of retirement, the tune rags are being dusted off, and the glow sticks are on pre-order. The only difference: ear protection, comfortable footwear, and a very sensible 10:30pm finish so veteran ravers (like Matt) don\u2019t have to pay the baby sitter overtime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour marks an exciting new chapter for the Matt and Alex <\/em><\/strong>podcast, a staple on LiSTNR since 2020. Alongside a refreshed name and look, listeners can count on everything they\u2019ve loved for nearly two decades \u2013 from iconic parodies to sharp comedy and the everyday adventures of two mates embracing adulthood.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of 5 Raves in 5 Days<\/em> is a celebration of Australian music. Each city will feature its own lineup of homegrown artists and special guests, with the full tour lineup to be unveiled throughout August and September exclusively on the Matt and Alex <\/em>podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Dyson<\/strong>, co-host of LiSTNR\u2019s Matt and Alex<\/em>, said: \u201cFor far too long raves have been the domain of the young and energetic. We want to prove that while millennials might not be able to own a house, we still 100% own the dancefloor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Okine<\/strong>, co-host of LiSTNR\u2019s Matt and Alex<\/em>, added: \u201cBook the babysitter, grab a new pair of speed dealers from the servo sunnies rack and prepare yourself for \u20185 Raves in 5 Days<\/em>\u2019. We\u2019re pumped to be announcing some unbelievable acts to join us on tour.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
