With sets already announced for the Falls, Sunset Sounds and Southbound festivals, King Khan and The Shrines have just added headline sideshows in Melbourne and Sydney.

The line-up of this super bad ass eleven piece soul inferno includes 60 year-old Chicago-born Ron Streeter (the live-percussionist of Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, and many other soul legends) and a horn section consisting of Simon Wojan, Ben Ra and French rockabilly saxophonist Big Fred Rollercoaster.
King Khan and The Shrines sideshows are on sale on Friday 16 October
Monday 4 January – Ding Dong Lounge, Melbourne
Wednesday 6 January – Oxford Art Factory, Sydney
