UK pop sensations Glass Animals are set to tour Australia in November.
The hitmakers, best known for their 2020 global chart topper Heat Waves, announced on Wednesday they will be playing just three shows in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
Formed in the UK in 2010, the band is expected to treat fans to tunes from their fourth album I Love You So F***ing Much which drops in July.
Dubbing their jaunt Down Under the Tour of Earth, the Brit popsters will start their whirlwind visit in Melbourne with a show at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on November 20.
They will then head to Brisbane for a gig at Riverstage on November 22 before wrapping up the tour with an epic show on the Forecourt at the Sydney Opera House on November 26.
The news comes after the band – consisting of drummer Joe Seaward, bass and keyboard player Edmund Irwin-Singer, frontman and lead vocalist Dave Bayley and guitarist Drew MacFarlane – recently played a gig in Sydney.
According to Rolling Stone magazine the Glass Animals played a ‘pop up’ show in May at Sydney’s Liberty Hall and included in their set their new single Creatures in Heaven, which features on I Love You So F***ing Much.
‘Goddamn, it’s good to be back in Australia. Tonight’s going to be special,’ Bayley reportedly told the packed crowd.
