Australia’s biggest electronic export Flume will embark on a massive world tour – including a run of huge national dates in November/December – to celebrate the release of his anticipated forthcoming album, Skin (out May 27 via Future Classic: preorder here). The Australian leg of the tour will include shows at Qudos Bank Arena (formerly Allphones Arena) in Sydney, Riverstage in Brisbane, Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Perth Arena and Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
Support comes from unstoppable Long Beach MC Vince Staples – who features as a special guest on the album for ‘Smoke & Retribution’ – and enigmatic UK producer SOPHIE. Both acts were highlights of the Laneway bill this year – Vince with his excellent first album Summertime ’06in tow, and SOPHIE on the back of his avant-garde electronic debut Product. Flume’s last headline dates in Australia in 2013 included multiple Hordern Pavilion and Festival Hall shows and completely sold out. He headlined the 2016 Laneway Festival in February to rave reviews. Visa cardholders have the chance to jump the queue and be first in line for tickets through Visa Entertainment.
