Children Collide's world tour stops in Hollywood on Sunday

Melbourne based indie-rockers Children Collide will spend March sleeping in more plane seats than beds as they head round-the-world in a series of gigs to showcase their “refreshing and completely hypnotising” (Drum Media, Sydney) set to punters, industry, media and the like. In an effort to avoid that dreadful London/Melbourne 22 hour flight home, they’re taking a few days off in Istanbul (seriously) before stops in Perth and Sydney for major festival dates.

They’ve also just been invited to the illustrious ‘The Great Escape Festival & Convention’ which takes place in Brighton UK on 17th, 18th and 19th May, as one of “only a small number of artists given the chance to play twice at the event”. In it’s second year, The Great Escape returns to Brighton to combine the showcasing of over 100 export ready bands from across the world with three days of entertaining interviews, talks and seminars from the industry’s leading professionals.
