8 Ball Aitken Drops Nightbird Album & Announces National Tour

Blues-rock powerhouse 8 Ball Aitken has officially released his highly anticipated new album Nightbird — out now across all major streaming platforms including Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube.

And he’s not stopping there. 8 Ball is hitting the road for a massive national tour, bringing the full-band experience to fans across Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales. With three official album launch shows in Brisbane (July 19), Melbourne (Aug 1) and Sydney (Sept 21) — plus dozens of other stops in between — this tour is set to ignite stages with signature slide-guitar blues, fiery vocals, and electrifying energy.

Brisbane & Sydney launch gigs come with a bonus: every ticket holder scores a free CD copy of Nightbird at the show!

Closer to home, fans can join 8 Ball for a special “Splendour in the Glass House” backyard album launch on Sunday, July 20 from 1–4pm. Expect an afternoon of grassroots vibes, community connection and unforgettable live music straight from the source — his own backyard in the beautiful Glass House Mountains.

🎶 Nightbird is a bold, soulful journey packed with grit, groove, and plenty of heart. Don’t just stream it — come and feel it live.
