Steve Lacy sells out Australian tour within minutes!

All venues upgraded due to huge demand


Steve Lacy’s Give You The World East Coast dates sell out immediately today!

  • SydneyMelbourne and Brisbane shows upgraded to satisfy massive demand
  • New tickets on sale Monday 10 October, 10am local
  • Also appearing at Spilt Milk in Canberra, Ballarat and the Gold Coast
  • Critically acclaimed new album Gemini Rights is out now through RCA Records/Sony Music Australia – featuring Billboard Chart-topping hit ‘Bad Habit’

In just a few moments, tickets to Steve Lacy’s East Coast Give You The World dates sold out after going on general sale today. Responding to incredible demand, all shows have been upgraded, the Gemini king now playing Melbourne’s John Cain Arena on Tuesday 22 November, Brisbane’s Riverstage on Wednesday 23 November and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Monday 28 November.

New tickets to all shows will go on sale on Monday 10 October at 10am (local time).

The announcement comes as Lacy’s streaming smash ‘Bad Habit’ this week climbs to No.1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart, with more than 20 million streams. It’s Lacy’s first ever single to reach the chart and replaces Harry Styles at the pinnacle. In Australia, the track topped Spotify’s Top 50 Chart and peaked at No.3 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

 

Lacy’s Australian visit follows the release of his critically acclaimed new album Gemini Rightswhich he dropped in July. Written, produced, and played pretty much entirely by Steve, the record is an incredible leap forward for an artist who has already established himself as a true cultural force. Like Lacy himself, the record is an amalgamation of a crazy array of references and influences – everything from Caetono Veloso to Andre 3000’s The Love Below to the Beatles to Sly Stone to his friends/band mates in THE INTERNET and much more.

With a live show that is equally celebrated, Steve Lacy has earnt praise from the likes of Pitchfork, NME and Rolling Stone, who called Gemini Rights “brilliantly mercurial”.

“… silky-but-powerful vocals” – DIY Mag

“This singular talent goes to the next level with his deliciously languid second solo album” – The Guardian

Lacy already has a veteran’s resume, and his list of collaborators is a who’s who of game changing artists, all of whom look to the artist to bring his signature brand of cool to their sonic table – people like Tyler the Creator, Solange, J.Cole, Vampire Weekend, Dirty Projectors, Kali Uchis, Thundercat and Mac Miller. Not to mention his guitar, bass, songwriting, and production with his bandmates THE INTERNET. His song ‘Dark Red’, which he literally made on his iPhone, claimed platinum status in the US recently!

Following his US tour dates this Spring, Steve Lacy will return down under in November and December and it’s a music experience that is absolutely not to be missed.

Gemini Rights is available now: https://stevelacy.lnk.to/GMNIRGTS-AU
