The National Announce Second Sydney Show

It's no surprise that tickets to the upcoming Aussie tour for The National are going like hotcakes, with the Ohio natives selling out their Sydney Opera House show in under an hour. Now the band have confirmed a second performance at the iconic venue.

The indie rock quintet will now also perform at the Forecourt on Friday 7 February, the night before their now sold-out gig. Tickets for this show go on sale Thursday 5 September from midday. Check out theGuide for details.

This tour marks the first run of headlining shows the band will play in Australia since 2010. They also toured a few weeks back for the mega fest Splendour In The Grass.
