Mellen Events and Future Entertainment are proud to announce the return of Liverpool-based indie rockers The Wombats to Australia!
Following on from the enormous success of their chart-topping sophomore release ‘The Wombats Proudly Present... This Modern Glitch', The Wombats are back down under for a run of dates that are sure to electrify audiences nationally!
After a tireless summer touring the biggest European festivals as well as an extensive run of headline shows, The Wombats are now getting ready to celebrate the phenomenal success of their latest album with their biggest Aussie tour to date.
This return will see the British trio step up to perform all of their chart-topping smash hits, including ‘Tokyo (Vampires And Wolves)', ‘Techno Fan', ‘Jump In The Fog', and ‘Let's Dance to Joy Division' at some of Australia's leading concert venues, boasting bigger numbers and production than ever before.

Since the band's formation, The Wombats have developed a unique style and built a strong fan base in Australia.
Meeting at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts in 2003, Matthew Murphy, Dan Haggis and Norwegian-born Tord ?verland-Knudsen quickly became friends and soon after started to jam together. The Wombats were born!
Their debut album 'Guide To Love, Loss And Desperation', released in 2007 was a phenomenal success. Combined sales of indie dancefloor smashes ‘Kill The Director', ‘Let's Dance To Joy Division' (winner of the 2008 NME Award for Best Dancefloor Filler), ‘Backfire At The Disco' and ‘Moving To New York' reached 300,000! The trio then embarked on a two-year tour, during which Liverpool's biggest exports in a decade played to well over a million people!
The release of ‘...This Modern Glitch' in April 2011 has seen the band take their career to the next level.? The album instantly received widespread critical acclaim and was hailed ‘album of the week' on both triplej and RADAR Radio. It was catapulted all the way to the number 2 position on the ARIA charts, staying in the top 30 since it's release, and is now on it's unyielding way to being certified Gold.
This week also marks the highly anticipated release of the trio's next single set as ‘Our Perfect Disease', a track that will rock Australian fans in all the right ways!
The Wombats are the epitome of fun. They're refreshingly upbeat and humorous, whilst sonically sound at the same time. Cheeky lyrics, slick guitars and classic keys all blend together perfectly on this tongue in cheek, introspective look at today's society.
With so much buzz surrounding ‘... This Modern Glitch' and a live performance that will blow you away, it's little wonder that Liverpool's The Wombats are widely regarded as one of the hottest live dance rock bands in the world today...
So don't miss out on your chance to see The Wombats, live, in their forthcoming Australian tour in October 2011.
Red Rum Club opened with lots of energy and performed a great set. I love it when I gain a new band to follow by catching a great opener. The Wombats were just as great when I saw them the first time at tiny Hurricane O’Riley’s at a WFNX sponsored show. Soooo good and this was my first time at Big Night Live which may be my new favorite venue.
Incredible high energy show by the Wombats. The opening act, Red Rum club was fantastic too.
As always, The Wombats put on a spectacular show that had everyone in the audience laughing, dancing to joy division, and celebrating the irony. We were so happy. What incredible fun! The band had so much energy on stage and that really trickled out into the rest of us. The bass player in particular totally killed it — he was rocking out all over the place! My one regret is that the show felt so short. I thought it would go until 11, but it ended around 10:30 or so. I wish it had been longer!!!
It was the strangest crowd I have ever been to. There was a couple snogging in front if us. A row of tall guys just nodding there heads. A group of crazy lads getting in to arguments and trying to start a mosh pit. The Wombats were amazing. Joy division was the perfect song to describe what was going on hahaha. Thank you for such an great concert!!
Was a very clean venue and bathrooms were also very clean. Sound was amazing will definitely come back for another show here.
I see The Wombats every time they tour the U.S. Always a great show! The Bellwether is a new venue in LA that is an amazing place to see a concert. 5 stars for the show and venue.
As a Brit in LA ???? It was great to see both Red Rum Club & Wombats flying the flag for British Music. The crowd loved both bands ??
Seeing Red Rum Club and The Wombats live at this fantastic newer venue was genuinely an inspiring time I will never forget! It was so easy to dance and sing along, both bands had such vividly wonderful energy and it made the night for me and my friend incredibly special ??
I love the Wombats so much, so they were a 10/10 in my eyes. I didn't know their opening act, The Dinos, but they were okay.
They sounded exactly the same live! I’ve been wanting to see them for the last 5 years and this was my first opportunity! I’m so glad I got to go :)
