Oztix | News | PNAU To Play First Live Shows In Years As Part Of Hot Dub Time Machine's Nutso Winery Tour

Hot Dub Time Machine has gathered a seriously impressive group of artists to fill out the line-up on his impending 'Hot Dub Wine Machine' winery tour, with the way led by the return-to-action of celebrated Aussie group PNAU, playing their first live performances in five years.

Although the cult-favourite outfit have previously dipped their toes in the gig arena in recent months, lending their DJ talents to shindigs at Sydney's Ivy and Newcastle's Cambridge Hotel over the festive period, the Hot Dub Wine Machine tour marks their first dedicated foray into live performance since their last studio album, 2012's Good Morning To The Night (with Elton John).

Now, however, on the heels of their lauded comeback single, Chameleon, and their year-ending warm-ups, PNAU are ready to start ramping up for the release of their forthcoming studio full-length (which is "coming very soon", they say) with a slew of live shows next to Hot Dub and his freshly revealed league of extraordinary musicians.

"PNAU are absolute dance music royalty — an act that have always been hugely respected on the Australian dance scene, and by myself as an artist," Hot Dub Time Machine, aka Tom Loud, enthused in a statement. "Their new track is so strong, and we couldn’t be more honoured to be hosting their live return on our Wine Machine stage — it's going to be epic!"

The news of PNAU's live return comes concurrent with the announcement of a new event in south-east Queensland, with the tour now set to also stop off for a newly announced show at Ocean View Estate, in the Somerset Valley, on 1 April.

The group of acts set to take the stage at that event, as well as its sibling shows in the Huon, Hunter, Yarra, and Swan valleys, also includes Miami Horror, Paces, Young Franco, Crooked Colours, Running Touch, Tom Tilley, Confidence Man, Dena Amy, Liz Cambage, SPORTS, Tina Says and more.
