Scottish Duo Optimo Announce Aus Headline Shows

Off the back of Lost Paradise

Influential Scottish dance duo Optimo are already slated in to play Lost Paradise and Piknik Electronic in Australia at the turn of 2017, but they've also announced a handful of headline dates to make the most of their visit.

With a combined two decades of experience behind the decks influencing acts like LCD Soundsystem, Franz Ferdinand and Four Tet in Glasgow and around the world, Optimo will be strutting their stuff at a headline Melbourne show on New Years Day and another in Sydney on 7 January.

With a knack for fusing funk, post-punk, reggae and '50s swing elements into their DJ sets, these gigs won't be ones you want to miss.
