The Dirty South's finest rock n roll gang The Black Lips, have already been announced on the Falls / Southbound lineup for this year and today, Laneway Presents and Penny Drop confirm that they’ll be making headline appearances on Tuesday 6 January at The Hi-Fi in Melbourne and Wednesday 7 January at Oxford Art Factory.

Atlanta's beloved sons entered the year 2013 through a screaming cloud of sweat, smoke, blood, and beer mist, in front of a dangerously packed hall in New Orleans' French Quarter. If a band's bipolarity runs on a touring vs. recording spectrum, then the previous year was the mother of all manic spells.

Straight Arrows & Destiny 3000 in Sydney, and Frowning Clouds & Steve Miller Band in Melbourne will join the Black Lips at their shows.
