Living Colour, one of the most forward-thinking and boundary-pushing heavy bands of the 1980s and ’90s, have announced they will return to Australia this May to embark on a national tour.

Last in the country for an appearance at Soundwave 2014 and a string of packed-out sideshows, Living Colour will return to play through timeless discography, including classics like ‘Cult of Personality’ and ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’.

These two-time Grammy Award winners are one of the most inventive bands in heavy music, creating a lively fusion of heavy metal, hard rock, funk, and free jazz that has influenced countless bands around the world.

Meanwhile, their thoughtful and highly conscious lyricism bridged the gap between the personal and the political, at once inspirational and providing a rousing wake-up call. Check below for all the dates and ticketing details of their 2017 tour.
