Postcards from USA: Part 2

The second leg of The Great Circle 2017 ended on a high note with shows in the Pacific North West last weekend. Below is a look behind the scenes over the last 10 days. For all those who shared some of these special gigs Midnight Oil thanks you for keeping the beat alive over all these years.

For those who missed out this time around, the band hopes to cross paths when they return to North America for a handful more gigs in late August and early September.
