Aly and AJ to perform show at The Academy in July

It took too long , it took too long, it took too long for the sibling duo to return to the scene.

Pop sisters Aly and AJ are set to headline the Academy on July 13.

The girls, Amanda and Alyson Micaela found success in the music industry when they were young teenagers.

After achieving a gold certified record for Into The Rush, the pair took a decade long hiatus from music and experienced their 20s away from the spotlight.

In 2018, they released album Ten Years which mirrored a lot of their earlier work with a depth of maturity and synth-pop tunes, marking a new era.

Aly and Aj have jumped right back into it with their EP Sanctuary that came out earlier this year, a continuation of Ten Years with a bit more soul-searching involved.

“Music became our friend again,” said AJ. “Once we were able to take some time and embrace who we were and once we started writing again these last few years, we were able to find the direction we naturally lean."
