Ben Howard Sells Out Sydney & Melbourne Shows

We knew that the forthcoming shows for British folk-leaning young gun Ben Howard were going to be popular, particularly given the reception he scored at Splendour earlier in the year, and sure enough he's gone and sold out two of his three sideshow dates already!

People hungrily snapped up tickets for his shows in Sydney and Melbourne in a very short space of time, selling out both dates very swiftly indeed, though given the success of his debut LP Every Kingdom that's not exactly a surprise.

To keep up with the demand, the artist has agreed to a second show in Melbourne the night after his first appearance; just like the first one it'll take place at the Corner Hotel.

Howard will be out here in support of The Burgh Island EP, which sees him go a little darker than before, but we look forward to hearing songs from across his career and, hell, maybe some new stuff.

He plays Bluesfest as a part of their massive 2013 bill on Monday 1 April, and here are the sideshow dates as they stand right now. Tickets for the second Melbourne show, which takes place at the Corner Hotel on Sunday 7 April, will be available from 9am Friday 21 December.

Wednesday 3 April – The Metro, Sydney – Sold Out
Friday 5 April – The Hi-Fi, Brisbane
Saturday 6 April – The Corner Hotel, Melbourne – Sold Out
Sunday 7 April – The Corner Hotel, Melbourne
