Justice, Oh Wonder, Phoenix, The Avalanches, Sigrid & More Name Sydney City Limits Sideshows

Five acts confirm headline shows

More The Avalanches The Avalanches

A handful of acts on the inaugural Sydney City Limits bill have named sideshows, with French heavyweights, local legends The Avalanches, Scandinavian singer Sigrid and pop-disco juggernaut The Libertines among those branching off from the festival in February and March.

Now added to the sideshow bill are French electro-disco heroes Justice who will be playing a one-off show at Melbourne's Hisense Arena and the UK's Oh Wonder, who will be playing shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

The new festival from the team behind Splendour In The Grass and Falls Festival unveiled a massive line-up last month, featuring the aforementioned acts amongst the likes of Justice, Beck, Vance Joy and Tash Sultana, and six artists on the bill have named sideshows.

Phoenix, The Libertines and Sigrid will play separate gigs in Melbourne and Brisbane, while The Avalanches stopover in Brisbane, The Head & The Heart play Melbourne and Car Seat Headrest confirm three dates across the country (Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane).

Pre-sale kicks off this Friday at 9am, with general sales live on Monday at 9am.
