Band of Horses

Overview

At long last, Band of Horses, the gentle, bearded rockers from South Carolina, have dropped their fifth album, Why Are You OK?. Staying true to form, even the meaner songs sound a bit like Neil Young if he hadn't discovered anger.

Now, as part of this year's Splendour sideshows, the denim-clad daydreamers are descending on the Opera House. Billed as a "transformative display of pure guitar-driven anthems", the Concert Hall seems an ideal location for the band to let loose their hazy, swirling, laidback ballads. For those overdue for a 'Casual Party', book. Book now.

There's more Splendour sideshow action where this came from. Check out our list of sideshows with tickets still available.
