It can take being away from home, long hours spent in transit, language barriers and a lack of sleep to make you realise how good our lives are in Australia. Riding the highs and lows of touring, you could say Caravãna Sun had a big 2014. With the announcement of their 2015 summer tour, Under A Southern Sky, this year is set to be an even bigger one yet.

The boys have toured the hell out of their second independent album release, both at home and throughout Europe. 2014 was the third time Caravãna Sun returned to Europe, playing to open-air festival crowds through Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, France, Switzerland and Portugal. They also had a band member retire and gained the almighty Ken Allars. All the fun was not to be had abroad though, with sell-out local shows and support sets with the band’s idols, Fat Freddy’s Drop.
