Blondie and The Pretenders Do Day on the Green

Blondie and The Pretenders are teaming up for one big Aussie tour, the first announced for the next A Day on the Green season. Sideshows have also been announced for Melbourne, Sydney, and Canberra.

While Blondie are releasing a new album Panic of Girls soon, I’ll be shocked if we don’t see a greatest hits style set from both of these monster acts. They’ll be joined on the tour by locals Adalita and Little Red.

Perth tickets go on sale on June 14, and all other tickets will be released on June 15.

Listen to Little Red Live

Things are definitely on the up for Melbourne’s Little Red. They were virtual unknowns when they won a slot at the V Festival through the V2 garage-band comp.

Now the retro rockers have released their debut album Listen to Little Red which recently debuted at number 29 on the ARIA Charts. It seems plenty of Aussies want to do just that, because they’re booked for shows all over the country next month.
