Rock Wins: Eagles Of Death Metal Are Coming To Australia

It’s a good day for fans of triumphant human spirits and pop-infused rock and roll.

Eagles of Death Metal have announced a tour of Australia, marking their first live dates in Oz since performing the tragic gig at Paris’ Bataclan Theatre on November 13, 2015.

During that performance, armed assailants descended on the theatre and killed 89 patrons, including EODM’s merchandise manager Nick Alexander.

That same night, further attacks took place on the streets of Paris, leading to a combined death toll of 130.

The band spoke tearfully about the traumatic experience with Vice.

A few weeks later, Eagles of Death Metal joined U2 on stage in Paris for their first performance since the attack, dueting on Patti Smith’s “People Have The Power” and their own tune “I Love You All The Time”.

Australian fans will get to join in on the singalong at the following dates:

Friday March 25: The Croxton, Melbourne

Sunday March 27: The Metro, Sydney

Tuesday March 29: Metropolis, Fremantle

They will also play the Byron Bay Bluesfest on Saturday March 26.

Tickets for their headlining gigs will go on sale February 16.
