Huzzah! It seems that Jimmy Eat World has finally realised that they have a significant fan base in Australia!

Before this year it seemed that the band was either oblivious to their cult following in Australia or just deliberately chose to ignore us all. In any case they seem determined to make up for their notable absence from our shores with their second visit in just 14 months and personally I'm super excited!

It was only last February that the chaps from Mesa, Arizona were one of the headlines acts on the Soundwave festival lineup. Now on the back of the release of their seventh studio album, Invented, the boys have once again plotted a course across Australia and are stopping by in April 2011. Here's what you need to know:

When: Friday, April 8, 2011
Where: Enmore Theatre
Tickets: On sale 9/12/10 through Ticketek
