alt-J

Overview

Scoring three triple j Hottest 100 tracks from just one album is no mean feat. But Leeds-based band alt-J made it happen after releasing their debut LP, An Awesome Wave, back in May 2012. The Brits loved it, too, awarding it the prestigious Mercury Prize — just casually. And now, on the heels of launching sophomore record This is All Yours, the boys are coming back to woo their sizeable Aussie fan base.

Spooky single 'Hunger of the Pine' (and its suitably creepy video) has clocked up more than three million hits, while the more fun and eccentric 'Left Hand Free' has already hit high rotation on many a spring playlist. But you can be sure Enmore crowds will be waiting for that epic 'Breezeblocks' singalong.

Alt-J will play just two shows in Melbourne and Sydney ahead of their Falls Festival appearance alongside SBTRKT, Royksopp and Robyn and Big Freedia. Stunning Perth-based singer Grace (Grace Woodroofe) is joining the lads for their two Australian performances, one of the most wanted support slots around.
