Dead Can Dance come to the Hall for what will be the only UK date of their world tour, their first tour since 2005.

The ethereal neoclassical duo formed in Melbourne, their 1996 album Spiritchaser reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top World Music Albums Chart.

Australian music historian Ian McFarlane described them as having an ambient style of world music that "constructed soundscapes of mesmerising grandeur and solemn beauty ... with African polyrhythms, Gaelic folk, Gregorian chants, Middle Eastern mantras, and art-rock."

The duo will be releasing their first new studio album in 16 years to accompany this tour.
