Mogwai Return To Australia For Headline & Festival Dates In March 2018

Seminal Glaswegian rock heavyweights MOGWAI announce their return to Australia, playing Sydney and Melbourne headline shows through March, alongside appearances at Perth Festival and Golden Plains.

Staggeringly prolific musicians, Mogwai have over the past twenty years produced nine studio albums, 13 EPs, two remix albums, two live albums and four compilation albums including 2015’s greatest “hits” Central Belters. They’re also established soundtrack titans, sound sculptors behind an impressive spectrum of cinematic releases (both full soundtracks and contributions), including 2016’s Atomic, a Top 20 UK album.

The band’s latest release, Every Country’s Sun, takes two decades of Mogwai’s signature, contrasting sounds – towering intensity, pastoral introspection, synth-rock minimalism, DNA-detonating volume – and distills it, beautifully, into 56 concise minutes of gracious elegance, hymnal trance-rock and transcendental euphoria.

Their most transportive album yet, the record builds across eleven tracks, with the final three songs ascending into explosive exorcism, closing with the colossal title track, its searching intensity wooshing towards infinity in a dazzling cosmic crescendo.

Known for their formidable live shows, Mogwai are powerhouse performers, creating towers of guitar and synth-based noise that obliterates the senses.

Currently in the midst of an extensive European and North American tour, the four-piece will end the year with their biggest-ever headline show on December 16th at Glasgow’s HSS Hydro, the perfect homecoming celebration.

In March 2018, when they set Australian stages alight on their first headline tour in three years, Mogwai will be in top form, ready to deliver an unparalleled live music experience.
