US Indie Rockers Grouplove Announce Aussie Headline Shows

In support of their highly anticipated third studio album, Big Mess, US outfit Grouplove have announced they'll be heading to Australia this August for two massive shows. 

Kicking off the tour at Sydney's Oxford Art Factory on 16 August, the indie rock band will move on to play The Corner Hotel in Melbourne on 18 August. 

The new album, set for release on 9 September, was recorded in LA and Seattle with producers Captain Cuts (Grouplove's Ryan Rabin) and Phil Ek, who has worked with the likes of Band Of Horses and The Shins.

"We made this album at an important crossroads in our lives, and it was a dream come true to be able to work with Phil Ek up in Seattle and with Ryan down in LA," singer/guitarist Christian Zucconi said.

"We’re extremely excited for the world to hear it!"

Grouplove will be supported at the Aussie shows by Sydney-based singer Lisa Mitchell.

Pre-sale tickets go on sale this Thursday before being available to the general public from 9am on Friday.
