The debut Aussie tour of Sleaford Mods is clearly a hot ticket, with extra shows and upgraded venues now being announced to cope with the demand.
Just last month, English electro-punk duo Sleaford Mods revealed that at long last, they would be making their way down to Australia next year.
Having mystified audiences with their brutal mix of working-class poetry, punk, and electronic music for some time now, the group burst onto the scene with 2013’s Austerity Dogs, finding themselves celebrated for their gritty compositions and blistering live shows.
However, while we’ve been enjoying their tunes for some time now, we’ve been waiting just as long for the Englishmen to make their way down under. With North America receiving their first tour from the lads in 2017, we figured it was only a matter of time before they paid us a visit.
Recently announced for festivals like Farmer & The Owl, Golden Plains, WOMADelaide, and A Festival Called Panama last month, Sleaford Mods have today announced that their headline tour of the country has now experienced a few upgrades due to high demand.
After kicking things off at Farmer & The Owl in Wollongong at the end of February, the group’s Sydney show has now seen an upgrade to the Metro Theatre, while their Melbourne debut the following night has sold out, prompting a second show to be added at the same venue on March 11th.
Meanwhile, the band’s Brisbane gig has been upgraded to The Triffid, while a sell-out at Perth’s Rosemount Hotel has resulted in a second date being added for the Rock Rover at Fremantle on March 14th.
