Okkervil River Are Coming To Melbourne

Last night the Melbourne Festival unveiled its music lineup, and it has to be said that it’s quite impressive, featuring the likes of MONO, Aesop Rock, Black Dice, and Rat Vs Possum. By far of greatest interest however is that the lineup also includes none other than Okkervil River, one of my favourite bands. Missing them last time they were in Australia is one of my greatest regrets when it comes to music, so I’m very glad to have the chance to rectify this. 

The band are playing a show at The Forum on the 14th of October (tickets), and frontman Will Sheff is also playing a very special intimate headline show at The Toff on the 16th of October (tickets). These are both gigs not to be missed, and tickets are on sale now, so get on it. And for full details of the Melbourne Festival, including dates and venues for all of the music acts, be sure to check out the official website.
