Absence makes the heart grow fonder they say and in the instance of Idaho trio Built to Spill and their seven-year sabbatical from visiting Australia that couldn’t be more true with the announcement of the fourth and final Melbourne show for the inaugural Eighty-Six Festival: Friday 27th October at Northcote Social Club.
Hobart too has caught the buzz with the announcement of BTS’s first visit to the Isle: Sunday 23 October @ The Altar.

Seven years on from their glorious Golden Plains debut, Built to Spill return to Australia as special guests for Melbourne’s inaugural Eighty-Six Festival.

In addition to the Eighty-Six Festival, Built to Spill will perform headline shows in Sydney and Brisbane building on their enormous reputation for a transcendental live show following their last Australian tour in 2016.
The ever- evolving line-up of BTS will this time feature founding member, principal songwriter, singer and guitarist Doug Martsch plus Melanie Radford (bass) and drummer Teresa Esguerra, the same line-up as featured on the band’s new album When the Wind Forgets Your Name, their first for indie-giant Subpop.
