Led by violinist Warren Ellis, instrumental trio Dirty Three, return in 2012 with a new album and a nation wide tour (minus Adelaide).

Kicking off in early March, the tour will follow hot on the heels of the band's first studio album in seven years, which Ellis declares, "may well be the definitive album from Dirty Three".

Don't miss this opportunity to catch the Dirty Three as they pass through your town.
