Beirut

Overview

Priests of the marriage between indie rock and folky world music, Zach Condon and his band Beirut are returning to our shores for a third time this November.

Since releasing his critically lauded debut album Gulag Orkestar at the tender age of 19 and following it up one year later with the unashamedly Francophilic The Flying Cup Cub, then-solo Zach Condon has decided to get inspired by things other than snowy European winters. His 2011 release The Rip Tide was influenced instead by a snowy upstate New York winter, with Condon voyaging inward rather than to old-world Eastern Europe.

For his journey to the somewhat sunnier Harvest Festival later this year he's re-amassed the relative mainstayers of his ever-changing band, and together they're playing a string of sideshows in November. Voyage yourselves over to the 2042 postcode on November 14^th to catch the Sydney leg of this musical nomad's ceaseless world tour.
