They will line up against headline acts such as Paul McCartneyMetallica and Splendour act Florence + The Machine, among many more. 

Julia spoke to TheMusic recently about their current schedule and their recent performances at Coachella. 

"Coachella was a good time. It always feels a bit overwhelming going to a festival of that size" she said. 

When asked who their favourite act on the festival was, Julia was quick to respond: "Our favourite was definitely War on Drugs...who we watched both weekends. Such great music!"

 

She also made sure to make some time for fellow Aussies and iconic act  AC/DC who headlined the festival.

 

"[It was] pretty special. Watching those fellas rocking out- realising that we know pretty much all the words and all the songs. Was very nostalgic...so much energy."

 

Julia said that while their schedule will be completely booked out in the coming months, she and her brother are excited to hit the road again. 

 

"We’ve got a whole lot of shows coming up — and a lot of shows in places we haven’t played before, which is exciting. It’s so great to see new places."
