Is this for real? With no announcment with any lineups so far this year I don't want to get my hopes up too much. It's been way too long since they've been here, I need to see them again!

It is! Straight from Universal Music themselves! I'm trying to get more info but it seems like it's all tight lipped from all of my usual contacts... It's been 11 years since a proper live show down under. Crazy!!

Looking at the announced dates again already they're pretty tight for them to fly the whole show for a national tour on the other side of the world in between those dates. So I'm guessing December Early 2020 as in previous year/s.

Plenty of time before they head to Fuji Rock. Apparently they might be headlining Splendour and doing a couple of side shows.

Uhmmm. Actually they have plenty shows in July.

DrewBax · Apr 08, 2019, 11:10 #6

Do you have a link to the other shows? I couldn't find those.

Pretty sure there's like a week they don't have dates booked but unlikely if they did more than Melb and Syd. Plus, pretty short notice.

I think like MIKL said, best bet is Jan 2020.

MIKL · Apr 08, 2019, 12:03 #8

October looks open though too unless I'm missing something? Otherwise early next year.

whitelabel84 · Apr 23, 2019, 10:19 #9

So it is (almost) confirmed. May 1st announcement!

I saw them at Future Music Festival in Perth in March 2011 - or did you mean their own show? I think they did single shows in Sydney and Melbourne on that tour.

Surely they wouldn't come play Aus in the middle of winter? They're much more suited to summer.

torvolt · Apr 24, 2019, 19:05 #13

Well this is incredibly exciting. Adelaide show hopefully, but I'd travel just to fuckin' see them! This is huge!!!

You're quite right about the 2011 gigs - my fault.
And looks like only the three capitals will be getting them.
I think I will try to get to at least two but would love to lock in all three!

Did you get an email update? I signed up but haven't noticed anything (I do look in my junk for emails just in case too)

I remember for the Come With Us tour they did solo shows in these same cities.

Ford · Apr 25, 2019, 15:11 #16

Not coming to Perth....that's great.

Bosco · Apr 30, 2019, 20:18 #17

Wow! Congrats guys and gals. The Avalanches as support too!

WhiteNoise · Apr 30, 2019, 20:48 #18

Holy shit what a good get. The Avalanches' DJ sets are even better than their live shows, you're in for a treat.

Krisper · Apr 30, 2019, 22:26 #19
