Hailed as a pop national treasure in the UK, one-time frontman of post-punk band Orange Juice, and acclaimed solo artist, Edwyn Collins is responsible for some of the most distinctive and celebrated indie albums of the last 30 years. Collins's extensive back catalogue is legendary, with Primal Scream, Belle & Sebastian and Franz Ferdinand among those toting him as highly influential.

It's been a hard road for Collins since his stroke in 2005, but his recent releases are a true testament to his prodigious talent and determination to write, record and perform. Join this statesman of indie music as he delivers northern soul-inspired pop with exuberance.

Edwyn plays three shows at Sydney Festival (two at the Spiegeltent and one at The Lennox Parramatta) plus a Melbourne headline at the newly opened Kelvin Club

Artful post-punk pioneers Wire returns to Australia in February 2014.

Wire rose to prominence in the late 1970’s and nearly 40 years on their sounds are still incredibly intense. Constantly expanding the sonic boundaries of the genre with their wildly original experimentation and expansive sound they unleash the perfect juxtaposition of sweet sentiment with razor sharp musicality. Seemingly holding the key to eternal youth, art-punk’s prolific forefathers are as fiercely magnetic today as they ever were. Their latest album 'Change Becomes Us’ is testament to this.

“Wire always seem to be ahead of their time, no matter what time they choose to exist in.” (Pitchfork)

We are thrilled to announce the supports for Veronica Falls Australian October dates!

Warming the stage for Veronica Falls in Sydney will be Brisbane-born Indie-pop quartet Go Violets and Sydney's finest alt-rock trio Mope City. A unique blend of 60s garage melodies and 90s pop beats has seen Go Violets mentioned in the same breath as revered artists like Best Coast, The Ramones and The Shangri-Las. Mope City are a freshly formed co-ed trio from Sydney's inner west. Recording their own pop-gems in their Marrickville bedrooms, their brilliance lies in the simplicity of their guitar-drenched tunes. Don't miss either of these fantastic locals!

Opening proceedings for Veronica Falls in Melbourne will be drone-pop trio Pearls and genre-defying popstars Milk Teddy. Going from strength to strength, Pearls' spellbinding psychedelic tunes have seen them on Warners Music compilations and playing live sets at last year's Melbourne Music Week. Milk Teddy are undeniably brilliant at writing original pop jams. Combining flange, phase and other sonic treats, the trio make for an inspiring live show. Don't miss Pearls and Milk Teddy supporting Veronica Falls!
