It appears the local love for Canadian Twins Tegan and Sara has grown stronger since they last visited our shores, with their recently announced shows in Brisbane and Melbourne SOLD OUT in record time. So two more have just been announced:

Monday 3 May The Tivoli JUST ANNOUNCED Brisbane QLD
Wednesday 12 May Forum Theatre JUST ANNOUNCED Melbourne VIC

Tegan and Sara return to Australia in May for a national tour, following the release of their new album ‘Sainthood’ (Warner) last year. ‘Sainthood’ was lavished with acclaim from fans and critics a-like, the first single ‘Hell’ gathering radio spins from alternate and commercial
radio around the country.

After years of selling out headline tours and their recent experience in joining the summer festival circuit, which saw them playing to thousands at the Falls Festivals, Southbound and Sunset Sounds in 2008, Tegan and Sara tours have become one of the most anticipated live shows among Aussie music lovers. Their on stage chemistry, incredible musical abilities, infectious pop sensibilities and direct connection with their fans has won hearts all over the
world.

In 2010 the girls return with a show full of new songs off ‘Sainthood’, as well as a few crowd favourites.
Joining the girls for his maiden voyage to Australia will be emcee turned indie folkster Astronautalis. The ex-battler, creates a seamless blend where the pugilist becomes the poet, the storyteller becomes the showman, and somehow, strangely, the idea of indie-folkhistorical-
fiction-hip-hop starts to actually make sense.

Sydney darlings The Jezabels will round out the night’s entertainment, bringing their melodic indie pop sounds to the tour.
