Passion Pit And The Griswolds Announce Australian Tour

Staff Writer

On the road this August

More Passion Pit Passion Pit

Indie popsters Passion Pit, along with special guests The Griswolds, will be taking to the road this August to play a select few dates along the east coast.

Off the back of the release of Kindred, Passion Pit's third full-length, the Massachusetts band will head to Melbourne's Forum Theatre on Friday, 21 August, Sydney's Enmore Theatre on Sunday, 23 August and Brisbane's Tivoli on Tuesday, 25 August. 

Kindred has been receiving pretty admirable reviews — we even called it a "a super-dense, syrupy, glistening, orgasmic pop behemoth" — peaking at #30 on the ARIA Album Charts, and their sophomore effort Gossamer doing even better, hitting #4 on the US Billboard Chart and #12 on the ARIA Chart.

Frontier Members will have access to a pre-sale on Thursday, 14 May from here, but general sales kick off from Tuesday, 19 May.
