The Grates are hitting the road in November on their biggest tour yet with Last Dinosaurs.
Off the back of the release of their 3rd album Secret Rituals and a massive main stage performance at Splendour In The Grass this year (complete with frantic dancing action, wild costumes and plenty of crowd surfing), THE GRATES have decided to enlist the help of fellow Brisbane locals LAST DINOSAURS and jump in the van for their biggest Australian Tour to date.
They’ll be doing 16 shows in just under a month, fresh from the US and what looks like a very packed schedule in NYC as part of the CMJ Music Marathon.
