Over 15 years into their career, everything Ball Park Music does these days feels like a victory lap. The Brisbane indie darlings have long established their status as one of Australia’s most revered and endearing bands – with six of their eight albums having debuted in the ARIA top five, one of which debuted at #1, four of their songs having gone platinum and no less than a dozen Hottest 100 placements to their name. Most bands in that position would be happy to coast out their days on heyday nostalgia alone, but if it wasn’t already clear: Ball Park Music are not most bands.

 

This year, Ball Park Music dropped another single ‘Please Don’t Move To Melbourne’ from their upcoming record Like Love and announced a huge 30-date national tour celebrating their 8th studio album. Released in April 2025, the album debuted at #1 on the ARIA National Album Charts, as well as #1 on the ARIA Australian Album Charts and #2 on the ARIA Vinyl Album Charts. Along with the success of Like Love, the band kept the good news coming with a whopping announcement that they will be joining Oasis on their Australian tour later in the year.
