The Preatures Warn About Scalpers As They Announce Mammoth 40-date Australian Tour

The Preatures are coming in hot on a Friday, dropping plans for their biggest tour ever and issuing a warning about non-accredited ticketing sites.

Just a handful of weeks after they complete their support duties for Harry Styles' Australian arena tour, the four-piece will hit the road with Ali Barter for a huge run of regional and metro shows that kick off in Western Australia on 16 Jun and wrap up in Alice Springs on 8 September.

"We're over the bloody moon to tell you that we're going on our biggest tour to date, hitting up far reaches of the sunburnt country we've never even dreamt of playing to, and Ali Barter is coming along for the drive," the band said.

With such a huge run of shows, the group also issued a timely warning about avoiding illegitimate ticketing sites.

"We'd also like to remind our fans to stay well away from ticketing sites such as ViaGoGo, their only aim is to rip you off. You should only ever buy tickets through our accredited ticketing partners or at the venue."

Tickets to The Preatures Magik national tour are on sale from 2pm, Tuesday 24 April, for more information, head to theGuide.
