"A truly exceptional guitar focused group, at a time when truly exceptional guitar focused groups are in short supply." – Pitchfork

"Charm, tunes and a certain hazy vision – Real Estate have them in abundance." – MOJO

Brooklyn-via-New Jersey’s indie titans Real Estate will close the summer in Australia, today announcing East Coast headline dates for February. Performing from their critically acclaimed new album Atlas locally for the first time, the recently expanded five-piece will headline Melbourne’s Corner Hotel on Wednesday 25th February, Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory onThursday 26th February and The Zoo in Brisbane on Friday 27th February.

From the warm escapism of their eponymous 2009 debut and its cherished follow-up, Days, toAtlas’ bittersweet melodic jangle, Real Estate have become modern day guitar heroes across five years of collaboration – world renowned for their shimmering, unhurried pop.

Announcing just one show in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne – with no festival appearances to follow – Real Estate’s February 2015 tour marks the band’s first Australian headline run since their sold-out, fondly remembered debut visit in 2012, and the stand-out performances on Laneway Festival’s 2013 circuit which would follow.

Joining Real Estate in Melbourne only will be locally-based, deep pop thinkers, Dick Diver. Special guests in Sydney and Brisbane will be announced shortly.
