Indie survivors The Futureheads still know how to dazzle – and they’ve done it again on new album This Is Not The World. In October, the Sunderland four-piece will land on our shores for a whirlwind week of headline shows around their Great Escape Festival appearance.

The Futureheads come equipped with a stockpile of jaunty anthems. This Is Not The World saw the band return to its DIY roots after splitting with record label 679, and the songs on it are some of the best they’ve produced. On stage it all comes together in a rollicking live show that’s sure to get you whooping along. On this visit, The Futureheads will be supported by hotly-tipped young things Dash & Will (get acquainted with them HERE ).

The Futureheads return to Australia for the first time in over three years. Tickets on sale Friday 15 August.
