Off the back of the release of their 3rd album Secret Rituals and a massive main stage performance at Splendour In The Grass this year (complete with frantic dancing action, wild costumes and plenty of crowd surfing), THE GRATES have decided to enlist the help of fellow Brisbane locals LAST DINOSAURS and jump in the van for their biggest Australian Tour to date.
