After more than a decade away from our shores, iconic indie rock outfit TV On The Radio will be making their triumphant return to Australia this December for a run of headline dates.
The legendary New York City group will be visiting east coast capitals layer this year, performing at Sydney's Enmore Theatre on December 2nd, The Tivoli in Brisbane on December 4th, and The Forum in Melbourne in December 8th.
The announcement of these headline dates comes just days after it was revealed that the group would be serving as one of the main headliners for Victoria’s Meredith Music Festival in early December.
The upcoming run of shows will be the group’s first in Australia since 2015, with the band having returned to the stage for the first time following a five-year hiatus just last year.
Formed in 2001, TV On The Radio's eclectic, genre-bending sound made a name for itself thanks to records such as Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes and Return To Cookie Mountain, with the latter serving as their commercial breakthrough.
Tracks such as Wolf Like Me became iconic within the indie scene of the '00s, with the song being voted into three separate Hottest 100 countdowns from triple j, including their annual 2006 poll, an All-Time countdown in 2009, and a Twenty Year retrospective in 2013.
