Fast-rising Aussie powerpop punks THE PRIZE make their inaugural visit to Europe this month, arriving in the UK in September.
The Melbourne five-piece turned our heads last Summer with their high energy cover of 'Fighting My Way Back' by Vive powerpop faves, The Incredible Kidda band on the back of their Wrong Side Of Town EP, leading to a new band feature in our October '22 edition.
Since then they've been touring their homeland with the likes of Sunnyboys, Civic and Pavement as well as playing a series of sell-out headline shows.
The band touch down in Val de Bagnes, Switzerland on 14 August for the Palp Festival, before heading round the continent with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They arrive in the UK on 1 September for End Of The Road, playing shows in Manchester, London and Brighton before heading out again in the company of The Murlocs. Full dates are...
