Beirut are coming to Australia for the Falls Festivals and today they announced sideshows for Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

The last time they toured here was way back in 2008, and since then they’re released their brilliant new album The Rip Tide and become superstars in Brazil.

The dates are:

Thursday 5th January – Sydney Opera House, Sydney
Tuesday 10th January – The Forum Theatre, Melbourne
Thursday 12th January – The Hi Fi, Brisbane

Tickets on sale Tuesday 11th October or pre-sale tomorrow through the Handsome Tours mailing list.

*Beirut are band in the same sense Bright Eyes are a band. So don’t get crabby about my use of plurals.
