A The The show offers a moment of transcendence in these fractured times.
With their 'Ensouled World Tour' taking over the Sydney Opera House and other Aussie venues, we can't wait to hear some of these The The songs live.
The post-punk legends have also added a second Melbourne show.
“We’re very excited to be coming down to Australia and New Zealand again and to be playing more cities than our last tour in 2018.”
"Instantly recognisable, 'Infected' burrows its way into our collective muscle memory and fishes out retro dance moves."
"There was nothing resembling a dirge anywhere near the stage of the Opera House Concert Hall tonight."
“The Melbourne Festival is about encouraging your curiosity. Cross the threshold with us.”
Post-punk royalty!
