Frank Ocean announces 2nd & final Melbourne show
Tickets went so fast for Frank Ocean’s Splendour sideshow performances that even if you had a speedy internet connection and a trigger happy finger you weren’t guaranteed tickets.
Well Live Nation have heard your cries and managed to wrangle another show out of the Grammy winner with a second and final Frank Ocean gig happening at Festival Hall Thursday July the 25th . Live Nation & Niche promotions members would have already received the pre-sale link for tickets tomorrow (Thursday June 20th) at 10am. Other mere mortals can try again this Friday (June21st) also at 10am. Good luck.

Amorphis venue change for Perth at October show
There’s been a venue change in Perth for Finnish heavy metal band Amorphis when they tour here in October. Previously for the Capitol theatre, the ‘Circle World Tour’ gig on the 16th of October will now be at Amplifier Bar.
Still an over eighteens gig I think it’s safe to say that if you have bought a ticket it is still valid at the new venue.

Of Monsters and Men move Sydney show to Enmore Theatre
Icelandic super-folk group Of Monsters And Men have moved their third show at the Metro Theatre, to the Enmore, to accommodate the legion of fans baying for more tickets. Their Splendour sideshows in Sydney sold out very quickly leading to a third date to be added at the Metro which has proven too small for demand.
With a new venue comes more general admission and seated tickets so if you haven’t got yours, tickets to the third and final Enmore theatre show are still available. Those of you who previously bought tickets will have your Metro Theatre tickets redeemable for GA floor access.
Tickets available from www.ticketek.com.au
Darwin Deez Australian supports announced
Marking their third time to Australia, Darwin Deez are playing Sydney and Melbourne with rising star Pluto Jonze. Known for eccentric indie- pop bangers "Plastic Bag In A Hurricane" and "Eject", we couldn’t think of a more perfect support act for the Big Apple indie band.
Tickets are still available for the Sydney and Melbourne shows from www.handsometours.com
