Dry Cleaning
Ballarat Civic Hall (Ballarat Central, VIC)
Sunday, 7 June 2026 7:30 pm
Dry Cleaning share Australian dates following their third studio album Secret Love and an extensive UK, European and North American tour that included the group’s biggest headline shows at LA’s Wiltern and London’s O2 Academy Brixton.
Secret Love is the finest expression yet of the profound friendships that created Dry Cleaning, between frontperson Florence Shaw, guitarist Tom Dowse, drummer Nick Buxton and bassist Lewis Maynard. Here, the south London four-piece take their place in rock’s avant garde, catalysing the Reaganite paranoia of early 80s US punk and hardcore with the dry strut of Keith Richards, stoner rock, dystopian degradation, playful no wave and pastoral fingerpicking, while Florence’s delivery, meticulously calibrated to her bandmates’ soundscapes, asserts her in a lineage of spoken-word artists stretching from Laurie Anderson to Life Without Buildings’ Sue Tompkins.
