Love Police have announced that indie-rockers Bright Eyes and LA art rock collective Warpaint, will be making their much-anticipated return to Australia this October and November.
Bright Eyes will be travelling from north to south, east to west in one big celebration of 25 years of great music. Meanwhile Warpaint will head to Australia for their first shows down under in six years.
In a huge first for Australia, the two bands will combine for a show at the Northcote Theatre in a special event curated for Melbourne’s newest music festival, The Eighty-Six.
Bright Eyes’ first two albums were released in 1998: ‘A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995–1997’ and ‘Letting Off the Happiness’ – beginning a worldwide love affair with the Omaha trio consisting of Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott.
The band last toured Australia 12 years ago, back in 2011 before a nine-year hiatus. The band will be thrilling Australian audiences with their vast career-spanning repertoire as well as playing new music from their most recent album ‘Down In The Weeds, Where The World Once Was’ (2020).
