Chicago's post-rock veterans of over two decades Tortoise have announced an Australian tour to coincide with their visit for Perth's This Is Nowhere festival.

Usually instrumental, the band incorporate a little bit of everything and are never afraid to share instruments between themselves and throw a little bit more of everything into the mix.

They've curated an All Tomorrow's Parties festival, soundtracked a film, collaborated with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and generally played a ton of shows.

Dates are below. Tickets on sale Wednesday 27 June.
