A City And Colour Splendour In The Grass 2014 sideshow has been announced.
Already headed to Australia as part of the 100-strong lineup of the three-day music festival this July, City And Colour has been locked in for a special one-off performance at the Sydney Opera House the night before Splendour 2014 kicks off.
Making his Sydney Opera House debut in what will be his only Australian sideshow for 2014, City and Colour main man Dallas Green will be performing an intimate, career-spanning solo set on Thursday 24 July, 2014.
A favourite of Australian audiences, the Canadian singer-songwriter has grown immensely since he started City And Colour as a bedroom-bound project for his intimately crafted tunes in the wake of former band Alexisonfire’s split.
Celebrating a decade since the phenomenal online groundswell that brought us the haunting debut album Sometimes (2005), Green follows last year’s critically-acclaimed tour of marathon band performances with his stripped back Concert Hall debut – taking the stage solo with his crystalline falsetto, life-defining lyrics, and the songbook of soul-searching offerings that brought us the Nashville-born sweep of 2013’s The Hurry and the Harm (Dine Alone Records).
From introducing the Little Hell hit single ‘Fragile Bird’ to the world through Triple J, to fulfilling last year’s statement to Sydney audiences that “if you promise me you’ll always be here, I’ll always come back.”
Echoing the rustic edges of fellow countryman Neil Young whilst supporting the likes of Bob Dylan, City and Colour’s pin-drop silences and heart-bruised live renditions have become infamous.

Now returning for a career-celebrating Opera House debut in the epic setting of the Concert Hall, Dallas Green will guide audiences through his most panoramic release yet whilst taking City and Colour back to where it all began in classic, intimate form.
