Refused To Tour Australia In November

Seminal reformed hardcore band Refused will tour Australia in November.

Soundwave Touring will bring the band to the country, although they won't be playing a festival.

In 1998 the Swedish band released their album The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chimerical Bombination in 12 Bursts, but broke up soon after. After their split they became widely regarded as the definitive hardcore band of their generation and The Shape Of Punk To Come... a masterpiece.

Last year they reformed following a number of internet-fed rumours and have since toured the European festival circuit extensively.

Dates are as follows:

Friday 9 November - Metro Fremantle
Sunday 11 November - Eatons Hil Holte, Brisbane (all ages)
Tuesday 13 November - Enmore Theatre, Sydney (all ages)
Thursday 15 November - The Palace, Melbourne
Saturday 17 November - Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide (all ages)

Tickets go on sale Friday 31 August at 9am.
