Silverchair

Silverchair will headline this year’s Groovin The Moo festival.

The festival will be one of the first live shows the Aussie band has played since the completion of tours in support of their 2007 album, Young Modern.

Work has begun on the band’s proposed sixth studio album, though no confirmation has been given on its release.

The trio of Chris Joannou, Ben Gillies and Daniel Johns headed into the studio mid-way through last year to work on the as yet titled new record.

“Daniel, Ben & Chris recently got together in a remote studio for a bit over 3 weeks to work on some new songs,” a statement from the band said at the time.

“They put down a bunch of ideas & Daniel has since gone away to write and develop the songs further.”

Silverchair will be joined at the festival by Vampire Weekend, Empire Of The Sun, Grinspoon, Tegan and Sara, Spoon, Lisa Mitchell, Ajax, Bag Raiders, British India, Funkoars, Ill, Jonathan Boulet, The Slew, Killaqueenz, Kisschasy, iami Horror, Muph and Plutonic, The Only, Yacht Club Djs.
