Swedish indie-folk duo First Aid Kit have announced a pair of Australia headline shows for 2018, which will see them perform in Sydney and Melbourne in April, around their appearance at Byron Bay Bluesfest.
Last in Australia in 2015, First Aid Kit will use their 2018 Aussie performances to showcase new music for fans, in the lead up to their fourth studio album, which is due for release next year.
The album’s lead single, ‘It’s A Shame’ — which explores “the emptiness and desperation you feel after a relationship has come to an end” — has just received its own music video, which you can catch below alongside the duo’s upcoming Aussie tour dates.
First Aid Kit released their latest album Stay Gold in 2014.
UPDATE: First Aid Kit have added a second Melbourne show to their list of Bluesfest sideshows, after the first sold out. Details below.
