The xx announced a 2018 summer tour of Australia on Tuesday, their first headline gig here since 2013.
Otherwise known as Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim and Jamie Smith (aka Jamie xx), The xx return to Australia after headlining Splendour in the Grass, their 2018 dates mark their first local headline tour since 2013.
The U.K. trio will be supported on their tour by singer-songwriter Kelela and DJ and rapper Earl Sweatshirt.

In the past PLUS1 has worked with the likes of Vampire Weekend, Tegan and Sarah, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and Arcade Fire to raise funds for various causes.
