Animal Collective heading down under

Much hyped band Animal Collective look set to grace our shores in the latter half of 2009. Some dates for a visit to our shores have been leaked and the band is set to be here for this countries greatest music fest- Meredith Music Festival.

A reputable American website called Jam Base has posted four Animal Collective Australian tour dates out of the blue – Meredith, plus three sideshows.

It’d be quite a coup to see the band in Aus again after the runaway success of most recent album Merriweather Post Pavilion Animal Collective leaked tour dates, according to jambase.com:

10 Dec – Tivoli, Brisbane
11 Dec – Enmore Theatre, Sydney
12 Dec – Meredith Music Festival
17 Dec – Capitol, Perth
