More The Smith Street Band The Smith Street Band Profile

Almost always on-tour Melbourne rockers The Smith Smith Band are the latest Aussies to be announced for the iconic Reading and Leeds festivals in the UK.

The band will already be in Europe come August playing festivals in Germany as well as shows around the UK, Czech Republic, Poland and Sweden and will tack their Reading and Leeds stint to the end of their long tour.

They'll also stop by Splendour In The Grass smack bang in the middle of their dates in Europe. 

The band will join fellow Aussies Knife Party, DMA's and Little May, among international heavyweights such as deadmau5, Mumford & Sons, Metallica, Alt-J and The Wombats at the events, which are held across the same weekend in their respective cities.
