If you can’t make it to a Laneway Festival near you, here’s a chance to see one of the festival’s most exciting acts without the all-day pass.

Brooklyn trio Battles have announced they’ll play sideshows in Australia early next year.

The band will visit Melbourne and Sydney in February, delighting fans with their guitar-heavy sound. Led by John Stainer’s chaotic drums, their latest record La Di Da Di is sure to dominate the setlist, promising an unforgettable live show. Check out their infectious effort ‘The Yabba’ down below.
