Jet add second show in Torquay

Jet have announced they are extending their tour celebrating the 20th anniverary of Get Born tour with more dates around Australia.

New towns and cities have been added to the list, including two shows at the Torquay Hotel in May.

The first show sold out within minutes of tickets being released, so a second performance has been added at the Torquay venue.

The band will play the entirety of the Get Born album, revisiting some of their greatest hits including “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”, “Rollover DJ”, “Look What You’ve Done”, and many more.

“Get Born was a rare and unique moment of total planetary alignment where we somehow managed to capture lighting in a bottle,” Jet vocalist and guitarist Nic Cester said.

Released in 2003, Get Born won six ARIA Awards and was one of the top five highest-selling Australian rock albums, they were also introduced into the 2013 ARIA hall of fame in November last year.

Jet formed in Melbourne in the late ’90s, made up of Cester, his brother Chris Cester, Cam Muncey and Geelong’s Mark Wilson.

They disbanded in 2012 before reucoming back together in 2017 where they played with Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band on their sold-out Australian tours.

Internationally, the quartet toured with the Rolling Stones, Oasis and Kings of Leon, as well as playing Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival.

The tour begins in Torquay on May 9 and May 10 before heading around the country.
