Canadian charmers Tegan and Sara will play five headline shows for their devoted fans here in May. The sibling duo has been announced on the bumper line-up for regional rodeo Groovin The Moo, but they’ll be making trips back to the Big Smoke for these dates.

Tegan and Sara have established a winning rapport with Australian audiences, most recently visiting for Falls Festival in the summer of 2008. Since then, they’ve released sixth album Sainthood, so expect a refreshed set-list. Indie-folk starlet Astronautalis joins the touring party this time, with The Jezabels taking opening honours.

Tegan and Sara make these stops in May. Tickets on sale 12 February.
