alt-J

Overview

There’s been a lot of well-deserved hype surrounding British band alt-J recently, following the release of their second album This is All Yours. Hell, their October 2014 shows in Sydney and Melbourne sold out in a matter of seconds, leaving a whole raft of fans who were gearing up to stomp and sing along to the pounding ‘Breezeblocks’ pretty disappointed.

If that was you, well, chances are you already know that the Mercury Prize-winning band is returning to our shores this May. There’s no more Forum for these Leeds lads, though. This time round, they’re playing the slightly-harder-to-sell-out-instantaneously Rod Laver Arena.

What the show will most likely lack in Miley Cyrus (who sings the ‘I’m a female rebel’ line in ‘Hunger of the Pine’ and is a big alt-J fan and should really just go on tour with them already), it will make up for with killer support acts Asgeir and Mansionair.
