Just as riffmongers Wolfmother announced they were to be headlining the second night of this year's Splendour in the Grass festival, they've gone and added a couple more dates. Beforehand.

After a nine month lay-off in which rumours circulated about the the band's future, the trio reunited last week to perform at the closing night of the Up Late Andy Warhol exhibition at Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art. Singer Andrew Stockdale, an art photographer in his pre-stardom life, now resides in the steamy city.

Before closing the second night of Splendour on the 3rd of August, the band get their chops back by heading to Darwin to play the Bass in the Grass festival on May 24th, and then on to Canada for one show on July 25th at the Pemberton Festival.
