OFFICIAL SHOW POSTER
Get your hands on the completely unique Adelaide show poster designed by artist Glenn Smith and the Melbourne show poster designed by artist Rhys Cooper. (These are in addition to the Pop-Up Shop exclusive poster!)
We won’t receive poster inventory throughout this tour, which means they won’t be available for sale online. So if you’ve got your eye on a poster, you’d better pick it up at the gig!
If there are any leftovers when this leg is all said and done, we’ll collect them and offer a very small amount online.
