The opportunity to open for arguably the world’s biggest band right now was intensely sought after, and Sydney outfit Decoder Ring couldn’t be more thrilled to have been hand selected by Coldplay for the job.

Their first performance takes place in less than thirty days in Perth on Friday 27th February, the first of two shows at the Burswood Dome.

They are a multi award winning six piece possibly best known for creating soundtracks to complement independent and short films.
