There are some fantastic shows kicking off around the country this weekend, from The Darkness marking their Australian return in Adelaide on Friday, to Mumford & Sons doing their thing in Brisbane. On a local front, one of our faves The Paper Kites set up for a SOLD OUT show in Sydney, while Australian legends (and our Artist of The Month for November) You Am I play The Gov in Adelaide.
Check out what’s coming up in our guide for the weekend!
The Paper Kites – SYDNEY
The Paper Kites’ Australian tour in support of twelvefour has seen the band accumulate more and more positive reviews in the last month or so. Their crowds have continued to grow in size and enthusiasm, while the album itself is definitely proving itself to be one of the best local releases of 2015.
Show Details: The Paper Kites play The Metro in Sydney this Friday night, supported by Patrick James. The show is completely sold out.
The Darkness – ADELAIDE
The Darkness return to Australia this weekend for the first time since having to cancel their 2013 tour.

Always a huge amount of fun, be prepared to lose yourself in glitter, glam rock goodness.

You Am I – ADELAIDE
