Overview

Get excited Temples fans as the boys have just touched down for their first Australian shows. First stop, The Zoo!

Hailing from Kettering, Northamptonshire, Temples are making waves in the psychedelic world. The group comprises of lead singer and guitarist James Edward Bagshaw, bassist Tom Warmsley, drummer Sam Toms and keyboardist Adam Smith. The lads performed at Coachella and have warmed the stage for the likes of Suede, The Vaccines and Kasabian. But one accolade trumps all of these achievements as Johnny Marr and Noel Gallagher, gods of Britpop, have praised Temples as one of the best new bands on the scene.

If Temples rings a bell, you may have heard their debut album, Sun Structures, being spun on Triple J as a Feature Album. Tracks such as 'Mesmerise' and 'Shelter Song' have been on high rotation as well.

Deep Sea Arcade and newly formed Orphans Orphans will also be playing.
