Modest Mouse Announce Australian Headline Shows

Having announced their return to Australia as part of Bluesfest since their last sojourn way back in 2009, Washington rockers Modest Mouse have now named some upcoming headline shows, with the band set to descend upon Sydney and Melbourne this March.

The Grammy-nominated indie six-piece will be taking to Sydney's Enmore Theatre and Melbourne's Margaret Court Arena on Monday, 21 March and Wednesday, 23 March respectively, with their 2015 record, Strangers To Ourselves, in tow, spawning singles like Lampshades On Fire and Coyotes. 

Their sixth album overall and their first in eight years, Strangers To Ourselves was a critical success, debuting at #15 on the ARIA Albums Chart and #3 on the US Billboard 200. 

Tickets to the shows go on sale on Friday, 22 January — head to theGuide for full details on Modest Mouse's upcoming visit.
