  • Royel Otis has been making waves internationally with a top 10 album, a Billboard Hot 100 debut, and multiple ARIA awards, including Best Group, following a sold-out homecoming concert last year.

  • In 2024, their success was marked by a top 10 album, a Billboard Hot 100 debut, ARIA awards, and sold-out shows across Australia, establishing them as a significant force in the music scene.

  • The duo is gearing up to release their second album, 'hickey,' on August 22 via OURNESS / Capitol Records, after their debut 'PRATTS & PAIN' in 2024.

  • Their music features soaring choruses and warm melodies, with live shows designed to make audiences dance and experience collective euphoria.

  • Their rise was boosted by a viral cover of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s 'Murder on The Dancefloor,' which hit number one on the US Alternative Radio Chart and was voted second in Triple J’s Hottest 100 of 2024.

  • The new album 'hickey' reflects the band's view that love bites harder than other emotions, with the lead single 'moody' about a girl, co-written with Grammy-winning songwriter Amy Allen.

  • They recently released 'moody,' produced by Blake Slatkin, as the first single from 'hickey,' which is about a girl and continues their signature infectious jangle pop style.

  • Having performed at major festivals like Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Fuji Rock, Royel Otis is gaining international recognition and will tour North America before returning to Australia.

  • Their busy schedule includes international festival appearances and a North American tour, with plans to return to Australia after these performances.

  • Their energetic live performances, including a U.S. debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and multiple ARIA awards in 2024, have significantly boosted their acclaim.

  • In October 2025, Royel Otis will embark on their largest Australian headline tour, 'Meet Me In The Car,' with four all-ages shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth.

  • Tickets for the tour go on sale July 14, with presales starting July 10 for Frontier members, as the band continues to build momentum following their international festival success.
