Belle and Sebastian are bringing their luscious indie-pop back to Australia for an early 2011 highlight.

Following the release of their latest studio album ‘Write About Love’, the supremely talented Scottish combo will be playing a limited series of theatre shows around the East Coast.


It’s been a long wait for fans to delight in the delicious return of Belle & Sebastian, with their last national tour nearly five years ago. The then 12-piece multi-instrumentalists gave fans spellbinding, brilliant performances, drawing standing ovations and rave reviews.

Australian audiences were finally able to experience the quirky musical magic that is Belle & Sebastian live, as familiar songs took on a new life, their emotional impact amplified way beyond recorded versions.

Forming in an all-night Glaswegian café, the band released their sensational debut ‘Tigermilk’ in 1996, followed soon after by the critically acclaimed ‘If You’re Feeling Sinister’. Belle & Sebastian have since delivered many firm fan favourites including ‘The Boy with an Arab Strap’, ‘Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant’, the critical and commercial success ‘Dear Catastrophe Waitress’ and 2006’s ‘The Life Pursuit’ featuring ‘Funny Little Frog’ and ‘The White Collar Boy’.

After a brief hiatus giving band members time to work on their diverse personal projects, ‘Write About Love’ sees a return of vintage Belle and Sebastian.

Don’t miss the Scottish charm, wit and sonic beauty that is Belle and Sebastian.

    I wasn't keen for the Opera House gig so thought I would be missing them, very excited that they have added the Metro show.. Nice!
