If you can’t make it to The Whitlams’ Good Music Month show at the State Theatre you needn’t stress. The band has just announced a full run of dates to support their soon-to-be-released best of.
The lads will play shows in some of the major capitals and a few regional towns as well. But if you can make it to Sydney, Hobart, or Melbourne they’re really the pick of things. The Whitlams will be backed by full symphonies in these cities, so they’re sure to be something special.
