Warpaint
The Californian festival favourites play their first Australian shows in three years.
Overview
Los Angeles-based foursome Warpaint are set to return to Australia — the homeland of their drummer, Stella Mozgawa — in late February. The group's summer tour follows the release of their third studio album, Heads Up, in September last year. The new album's tone more closely emulates the style of their live performances — energetic and dance-oriented — than their previous albums, which have been more subdued and reflective.
This isn't the first Australian tour for Warpaint, having previously performed at the likes of Laneway Festival in 2014 and Splendour in the Grass in 2011. But this time, they'll be hitting up The Triffid on Wednesday, February 22 with Sydney multi-instrumentalist Jonti. They'll be stopping by other major capital cities including Perth (as part of the Perth International Arts Festival) on Sunday, February 19, Melbourne on Friday, February 24 and Sydney on Saturday, February 25.
