Australia just can’t get enough of The Wombats! Their Splendour In The Grass sideshows in Sydney and Melbourne sold out in minutes, and as a result they have upgraded venues in both cities to accommodate demand.
The Sydney show has been moved from the Enmore Theatre to The Hordern Pavilion and is on sale now. The Melbourne show has been moved from the Palais to Margaret Court Arena.
The Wombats originally made their Splendour debut in 2008 with songs from their killer debut album ‘A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation’. They return in 2015 with their third album ‘Glitterbug’, a triple j feature album that debuted at #2 on the ARIA charts, featuring the singles ‘Greek Tragedy’, ‘Give Me A Try, and lead track ‘Your Body Is A Weapon’.
Previous album ‘This Modern Glitch’ with its hit singles ‘Tokyo’ (Vampires and Wolves) and ‘Jump Into The Fog’ saw The Wombats build on the initial success of their debut album as it also reached #2 on the ARIA album chart and achieving platinum sales.
They will be joined by fellow Liverpool four-piece Circa Waves, whose infectious latest single ‘T-Shirt Weather’ has become an anthem for lovers-of-Summer the world over.
Hot on the heels of the release of their highly anticipated debut LP “Young Chasers”, which debuted at #7 on the British charts, the boys will bring a hit-after-hit setlist including ‘T-Shirt Weather’, triple j’s current spin ‘Fossils’ and festival favourites ‘So Long’, ‘Get Away’, ‘Stuck in My Teeth’ and ‘Young Chasers’.
