About this event

The Whitlams are bringing their pub-run tradition back to the East Coast this October. 'Return to Rock Island' strips away the orchestral arrangements of their recent symphony tour and returns to sweaty nights in the rooms that made them. William Crighton and his band open the whole tour, promoting his latest album of bush-psych and Australian folk rock.
