Legendary Australian rock band The Angels have announced an upcoming national tour with new vocalist Nick Norton, almost two years after Dave Gleeson quit the group.

The iconic rockers are set to perform their Go For Broke tour across nine shows throughout the country, from July to August.

The band will play their biggest hits to a roaring crowd, including Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again? and Take A Long Line, with their new vocalist Nick Norton, who has fronted the band since 2023.

The tour is particularly special for the band as it marks over 50 years as a group and celebrates the success of their 2024 album Ninety Nine, which charted in Australia.

‘I really feel this is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for The Angels,’ founding guitarist John Brewster said in a statement.

The Angels are one of Australia’s most beloved rock bands and was originally fronted by legendary singer Doc Neeson from 1974 – 2011.

After his death in 2014 from a brain tumour, the band recruited The Screaming Jets frontman Dave Gleeson as their new singer. 

In 2023, Gleeson revealed he was stepping aside to concentrate on his radio commitments and a new album with The Screaming Jets.

The host of Triple M Nights with Dave Gleeson said in a statement to The Courier Mail: ‘Being a part of such a legendary legacy will always be one of my great achievements.

‘With The Screaming Jets on the eve of a new album release, and my national Triple M commitments, it’s time to move on,’ he continued. 

Dave said his former bandmates remain ‘the very best of friends’.

‘They will always hold a special place in my rock ‘n’ roll journey. Rock on and see youse on the road,’ he added.
