Purity Ring Announce Splendour In The Grass Sideshow Dates

Venerated two-piece Purity Ring will be bringing their eclectic style and sounds to a pair of Splendour In The Grass headline sideshows when the act is in the country for the annual camping festival in a couple of months' time.

The band — made up of Megan James and Corin Roddick — will play Melbourne's 170 Russell on Friday, 24 July, and head up to grace the stage at Sydney's Metro Theatre a couple of days later, on Monday, 27 July.

UPDATE, 30 April: Melbourne's first show has sold out; a second show will now be held at 170 Russell on Thursday, 23 July. See our full story for details.

The shows will mark the first opportunity for Australian audiences to experience the songs of recent release Another Eternity in the flesh, so with Splendour having sold out in a flash, you'll want to act quick if you're a fan to ensure you get your shot to see Purity Ring do their thing in the near future.

Tickets for both sideshows are available now. See theGuide or check The Music App for more information.
