More The Shins The Shins

The Shins have announced Splendour In The Grass sideshows this morning, with shows in both Melbourne and Sydney to be supported by Husky.

James Mercer's The Shins were announced last week after the recent release of their latest record Port Of Morrow, Mercer's first release as the shins since 2007. In what is set to be the American band's fifth visit to Australia, Melbourne's Sub Pop-signed Husky will join them for both shows.

Tour dates are as follows:

Monday 23 July - Festival Hall, Melbourne
Wednesday 25 July - Hordern Pavilion, Sydney
