The National Announce Second Opera House Forecourt Show

September 4, 2013

The National have announced a second show at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt as a part of their 2014 Australian tour, with the indie giants now playing back-to-back shows on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th February due to overwhelming demand.

The Brooklyn-based quintet were only just in town for a one-off Splendour In The Grass performance but are heading back for a full headlining tour off the back of their sixth studio album, Trouble Will Find Me.

If you need some encouragement to get on board for what will surely be the gig of the summer, warm yourself up with the band’s new video for their latest single, Graceless, or check out some snaps from Splendour below.

Tickets for this second show go on sale at 12:00pm AEST tomorrow, Thursday, 5th September through the Sydney Opera House website and we’d advise getting on that pronto – they’re unlikely to last too long.
