Already confirmed as a headliner for The Coaster Festival in Gosford this September, LA indie darlings The Airborne Toxic Event have just announced a run of sideshows as well.

Garnering rave reviews for their electric live shows, The Toxic Event have spent the last few years growing a cult following across the globe. The band’s eponymous debut album shot to number four on the Billboard charts in the US, bringing them to the attention of the music industry and Conan O’Brien, who has had them perform on his show more than once in the last year.

The Californian quintet, whose music was described by the LA Times as – œpoetry you can dance to’, have spent the last year supporting the likes of Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs. They’re sure to win over a few Aussie fans on their first trip to our shores.

You can catch The Airborne Toxic Event at the following shows:

Saturday 5 September – Rosemount Hotel, Perth
Wednesday 9 September – East Brunswick Club, Melbourne
Thursday 10 September – The Zoo, Brisbane
Friday 11 September – Oxford Art Factory, Sydney
