Jet's Get Born album was released on 14th September 2003 and included the hit lead single, Are You Gonna Be My Girl, alongside Rollover DJ, Look What You've Done, Get Me Outta Here and Cold Hard Bitch.

The album peaked at number 14 on the UK Albums Chart and has sold over 4 million copies worldwide.

According to NME, frontman Nic Cester said in a press release: "’Get Born was a rare and unique moment of total planetary alignment where we somehow managed to capture lighting in a bottle. We’re all really excited to come back to the UK & Ireland for these shows.”
