White Lies cancel Sydney & Melbourne shows

The Frontier Touring Company have today regretfully announced the cancellation of White Lies’ Melbourne and Sydney shows originally scheduled for April.

A release from the promoters says:

“The band were very much looking forward to visiting Melbourne and Sydney after their Japan dates but with those shows now cancelled following recent disasters, it is unfortunately no longer financially viable to perform the two headline shows here.

The UK band are working towards lining up a full tour of Australia in the future and apologise to Australian fans for the cancellation.”

BAIO cancels Sleigh Bells’ Aus shows

The Frontier Touring Company has announced the withdrawal of BAIO (Vampire Weekend) from Sleigh Bells’ January 2011 Sydney and Melbourne shows due to flight complications from the US.

One of the East Coast’s worst ever blizzards has put a halt to a number of flights from New York and any surrounding areas. These complications are totally unforeseen and both The Frontier Touring Company and BAIO have gone to every possible extent to make the tour go ahead as planned. Unfortunately all attempts were in vain.

Sleigh Bells will be joined by Melbourne five-piece Rat Vs Possum and infamous indie party-starters the Purple Sneakers DJs and this much anticipated show is sure to thrill.

Sleigh Bells will appear in Melbourne at the Prince Bandroom on Friday 7th January and in Sydney at The Forum on Saturday 8th January. Tickets available now!

LA ROUX RETURNS FOR MARCH 2010 SHOWS

The Frontier Touring Company has announced UK’s hottest electro pop duo, La Roux, are returning to Australia for shows in Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide in March 2010.

One of the stand-out and must-see acts of 2009, La Roux’s last tour saw headline shows sell out in just minutes. Venues were upgraded to meet demand and sold out again just as quickly.

Clearly La Roux need little introduction to Australian audiences, whose love affair with the pair’s highly acclaimed, self-titled debut propelled the album into the upper echelons of the ARIA chart. But that’s hardly surprising for a CD that features radio favourites like ‘Quicksand’, ‘In For The Kill’ and the hip-shaking, toe-tapping ‘Bulletproof’.

A nomination for the UK’s illustrious Mercury Prize this year, and peak positions on hit lists such as the BBC’s Sound of 2009 and The Guardian’s Best New Acts of 2009 resulted in La Roux becoming one of the most talked about and well-respected new bands of the year.

And whilst some bands fail to live up to the hype, La Roux certainly delivers. Their recent live shows Downunder were received to a rapturous response.

‘A storming performance… Like Beth Ditto before her, Jackson is quickly becoming an icon, celebrated for bucking a trend and looking f**king cool whilst doing it.’ – Beat Magazine, October 2009

‘The fans eat up every moment… In For The KiIl and Bulletproof capped the night off with La Roux proving that despite the hype they certainly have what it takes.’ – Inpress Magazine, October 2009

Promising to return even bigger and better than before, this tour will be a must for 2010. So make sure you don’t miss out, because this time there won’t be any second chances.

General public on-sale Friday December 11.
