Royal Headache Joins Laneway Festival

Tobias Jesso Jr out, Royal Headache in.

Sydney's inimitable punk garage powerhouse Royal Headache have been added to all Australian dates of Laneway Festival. 

The group's recent, long awaited release High has left the band in high-demand for festival season with slots already secured at Fairgrounds and Golden Plains. Unfortunately the announcement comes in light of the sad news that Tobias Jesso Jr, who was due to make his debut Australian performances as part of Laneway, will no longer be able to perform at Laneway or the coinciding sideshows. It's understood that this is due to conflicting songwriting and recording commitments.
