The Australian Indie-Rock duo Royel Otis has announced yet another race of US tour dates, with the group detailing their latest round of shows while in the country.
Announced Monday (May 5), News about the group’s Meet Meet Me In The Car Tour coincides with the first of two sold -out shows at Troubadour in Los Angeles Monday and Tuesday. The 12-date run of Shows launches in Philadelphia in Franklin Music Hall on September 12, before wrapping in New York City by the roof of Pier 17 on October 11.
After their current Los Angeles shows, Sydney’s duo appears at both New York City’s Governors Ball Music Festival and Tennessee’s Bonnaroo festival ahead of a race of festival dates across Europe, UK and North America, before launching their own headline shows in September.
Royel Otis was first formed in 2019 and released a number of EPS between 2021 and 2023 before issuing their debut album, Pratts & Pain In 2024. Although their “Sofa King” track reached No. 12 on the alternative AirPlay diagram by 2023, the band found widespread fame last year after their coverage of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor” for Australian radio station Triple J’s As a version series.
The cover topped the alternative AirPlay charts and also topped on No. 41 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs diagram.

At the end of 2024, Royel won Otis Fire Aria prices from eight nominations, including best group and best rock albums, while producer Chris Collins won the best produced release and best constructed release for Pratts & Pain.
