Tegan and Sara to Tour Australia and New Zealand in 2017

Tegan and Sara to Tour Australia and New Zealand in 2017

Tegan and Sara will return to Australia in March 2017 to follow up their 2016 Splendour in the Grass appearnace and sideshows in Melbourne and Sydney. This time around, Adelaide and Brisbane will see their own shows with one more show in Auckland to boot.

Having delighted audiences at a sold-out Splendour and equally sold-out sideshows this year, it appears that the indie-pop sister act of Tegan and Sara couldn’t stay away from Australia.

The pair will showcase their 8th studio album Love You To Death, produced by the prolific Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sia, Beck, Ellie Goulding). As its title suggests, Love You To Death explores, in Tegan’s words, the “debilitating and transformative” nature of relationships.

Hot on the heels of their poppy 7th release Heartthrob, Love You To Death follows a similar vein, having been described by Pitchfork as a composition of “bouncy synth hooks and sleek pop production”.

Tour dates:

Brisbane – Monday, March 6 at The Tivoli

Adelaide – Tuesday, March 7 at The Governor Hindmarsh

Melbourne – Wednesday, March 8 at Melbourne Zoo

Sydney – Thursday, March 9 at Taronga Zoo

Auckland – Saturday, March 11 at Bruce Mason Centre
