The Veronicas Tease New Album With Club-Ready Single 'Here to Dance'

Hitmaking Australian sisters The Veronicas further teased their highly anticipated new album Gothic Summer by unveiling the newest single “Here To Dance.” Over a funk-disco rhythmic bass and shimmery strings, “Here To Dance” reminds you to dance like no one's watching. 

"This song is about disengaging from drama, whether online or personal, and remaining unbothered," Jessica explains. "'I don't care who's watching, I'm just here to dance' is a metaphor and a directive to go where the love is."

Jessica and Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas first previewed Gothic Summer with “Perfect” and “Detox,” which were both released in Fall 2023. “Perfect” is a fierce, melody driven anthem standing up against unrealistic social pressures, while “Detox” is a ska-pop-punk fusion exploring the chaos and hypnosis of toxic relationships. 

With “Here To Dance,” The Veronicas unveil an entirely new, dance-heavy anthem, a style that they are widely known for. “Here To Dance” lives in a place somewhere between Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa. This song is sure to be on high rotation in clubs worldwide.

The duo most recently performed at the 2023 When We Were Young festival where fans spanning all generations celebrated their enduring influence. In addition to releasing new music, The Veronicas will hit the road for a 22-date U.S. Headline Tour (marking their return to U.S. stages after almost a decade).

The ‘Gothic Summer' tour will run from April 3-May 5, with stops in San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City, Denver, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston, New York City, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles and more. Tickets are available now attheveronicas.com/tour.

ABOUT THE VERONICAS

Named “the ultimate pop-punk duo of the mid-aughts” by Nylon, The Veronicas have long been recognized for their famed blueprint in songwriting and career of multi-platinum studio albums which expertly balance vulnerability with a bit of rebellion. The hitmaking duo first emerged in 2005 with their now 4x ARIA-certified platinum, debut album The Secret Life of..., which featured hit singles such as "4ever" and "Everything I'm Not."

In 2007, they released their critically acclaimed, sophomore album Hook Me Up, which lauded their first international top-ten hit "Untouched." After a hiatus, the duo returned with their self-titled third studio album in 2014. In 2024, the duo will unveil their newest full-length body of work.

Titled Gothic Summer, the long-awaited project, which is their first international release in 10 years, finds the duo centered in their creativity as they embrace introspection and challenge societal pressures, shining a light on the truth beneath pop music's shimmering surface. Stay tuned for more on The Veronicas' Gothic Summer releasing via Big Noise Music Group this March.
