From Chapel Hill legends to Detroit icons, here are three of the best gigs landing in Aus this December
From indie-dance to raw, nostalgic rock and one of the most influential guitarists of our time, there’s a gig for everyone.
Two Door Cinema Club and Declan McKenna are teaming up for a co-headline tour of summer anthems, Superchunk is bringing their classic breakup album Foolish to life, and Jack White is delivering a mix of old and new with his signature electric energy.
Superchunk
