Anyone hoping to catch a headline show from American folk rockers The Head and The Heart when they’re in the country for Sydney City Limits better be prepared to find their way to Melbourne.
The band has only announced a single sideshow, appearing at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne on the 1st March. If The Head and The Heart are top of your list to go and see I’d recommend getting on top of tickets to this show ASAP as it’s bound to sell out soon.
Both Australian dates for The Head and The Heart are below:
Saturday 24th February – Sydney City Limits, Centennial Park, Sydney, NSW
Thursday 1st March – Corner Hotel, Melbourne, VIC
With the summer festival announcement season well and truly upon us it’s exciting to see so many visiting artists now announcing headline shows while they’re in the country.

When Sydney based singer-songwriter Julia Johnson started revealing her new solo sound earlier this year I got pretty excited. I feel like Johnson has grown as an artist since moving away from The Deep Sea Sirens, allowing her to explore an array of different musical textures without lowing her indie-folk sensibilities.
“Melissa” was released earlier this year and now Julia Johnson has revealed the mesmerising new video directed by Shane Parsons. Check it out here:
