Lead by the three guitar attack and vocals of songwriters Tom Russo, Joe White and Fran Keaney, the Melbourne five piece will be appearing in support of their highly praised second album Sideways To New Italy which was recently released on the American record label Sub Pop.

The NME called it ‘masterful guitar pop’ while Mojo magazine named the group’s 2018 debut Hope Downs as ‘the guitar album of the year’, describing it as both ‘romantic and exhilarating’.

Often compared to bands like R.E.M, The Strokes, The Smiths and The War on Drugs, Rolling Blackouts are much loved by BBC Radio 6 Music and have wowed fans at festivals across the world including Coachella and Primavera Sound as well as headlining the UK’s Deer Shed festival in 2019.

This will be their first appearance in Northampton, having previously headlined at sold out show at Esquires in Bedford last year. Support is to be announced.

Tickets cost £16 in advance and are available from www.ticketweb.co.uk and www.seetickets.com.
