Elbow Announce Second Melbourne Show

Last chance, Victorians

It would seem Australians have a soft spot for Elbow — just over a week since their October Australian tour was announced, and mere days after Sydney added a second show to cope with demand, Melbourne has followed suit and lined up a second date for the veteran Brit alt-indie-whatsits to charm its punters as only they know how.

In addition to the previously announced show at The Forum on Tuesday, October 28 — for which tickets still remain — Melburnians will have a second chance to catch Elbow in action the next night, Wednesday, October 29. This will be the final show added for the city, so it's now or never on this one.

Elbow recently wrapped up an arena tour of the UK, stopping in at Glastonbury on the way through, and head to Australia with sixth LP The Take Off And Landing Of Everything freshly in tow.

The album was responsible for the band's highest chart debuts to date, topping the UK and Ireland's respective ladders, and stepping out at a respectable #12 on the Australian ARIA chart.
