Staying true to their word that they would be returning back to our shores, Canadian pair Japandroids have announced a full Australian tour for later this year. The band broke their Australian virginity only at the start of 2013 where they graced the stages of Laneway Festival and this time round they will be headlining their very own shows. Booyah!
What a roller coaster ride it’s been for fans of Japandroids. The elation following the band’s debut full-length album Post-Nothing was quickly cut short when they band announced they would be working together no more. But the people had spoken, and the success of the album brought them back together and resulted in the follow-up Celebration Rock.
If you caught their Laneway performance then you need no convincing to catch them again…and if you didn’t? Dude. Seriously. Get on this shit. Twice in one year – it all suddenly feels as though it was worth the wait.
Pre-sale from 12pm AEST today, general public on sale 12pm AEST Tuesday, 16th April.
UPDATE:
Japandroids have sold out their Melbourne show at the Corner Hotel in just 7 days, so they’ve decided to add another one. With the Sydney show selling fast, you’d better get in quick or face a sudden influx of Cockroaches! New date below.
UPDATE 2: Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney shows are now sold out, plus supports have been announced for all shows. Supporting Japandroids in Sydney will be Buzz Kull, Sincerely and Grizzly will open in Adelaide and Perth locals HAMJAM will warm up the Rosemount. Velociraptor will join the band in Brisbane, and Melbourne support comes from Drunk Mums on Wednesday the 28th and The Frowning Clouds and Black Night Crash DJs on Friday the 30th.
