Two Door Cinema Club & Declan McKenna hit the Forecourt

Music fans are in for a treat this December as indie-dance darlings Two Door Cinema Club and critically acclaimed Declan McKenna join forces for their first-ever co-headline tour of Australia.

The dynamic pairing promises an unforgettable performance, blending Two Door Cinema Club’s infectious energy with Declan McKenna’s vibrant sounds, showcasing a mix of their chart-topping hits and new material in a captivating live experience like no other. Joining Two Door Cinema Club and Declan McKenna as special guest is indie-outfit Soft Launch.

Northern Ireland’s Two Door Cinema Club formed in 2007 and have since released five hugely successful records, as well as sold out shows and headlined festivals across the globe, with fans flocking to hear their unique blend of guitar-driven post-punk hooks paired with electronic, danceable beats. Two Door Cinema Club first gained attention with their 2010 debut album Tourist History containing their break out singles ‘Something Good Can Work’ and ‘Undercover Martyn’.

Hailing from Hertfordshire in the UK, Declan McKenna moved to Los Angeles to record his third album, What Happened To The Beach?. Where previously his biggest tunes hurtled along at 100mph, with the help of the California sun and producer Gianluca Buccellati (Arlo Parks and Lana Del Rey), the result is an album that revels in both space and atmosphere, evoking the sunshine Declan basked in.

Supporting the tour are quintet Soft Launch, an upcoming indie-pop act heavily championed by taste-making publications like Dork and DIY Mag, who’ve coined them one of the most exciting bands on the scene right now.

With a line up as undeniable as this, you won’t want to miss Two Door Cinema Club, Declan McKenna and Soft Launch as they bring their summery soundscapes to the Forecourt this December.
