"Over 4 short years, Astral People have grown into one of the most forward-thinking and inventive promoters in Australia."

Sydney music industry mainstay Astral People has announced a huge change today — the promoter and management company will be merging the touring side of things with Handsome Tours, another cornerstone of bringing internationals to Australia, having brought out Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, The National and more.

The two companies will combine to bring electronic, hip hop and DJ tours to Australia and overseas.

Handsome Tours' promoter Mark Dodds, said, "Over 4 short years, Astral People have grown into one of the most forward-thinking and inventive promoters in Australia, bringing some of the world's best electronic acts to our shores," while Astral People's Vic Edirisinghe says, "Handsome Tours and their parent company, Inertia, have been huge inspirations for us since day one. It's truly an honour to announce that we'll be working side-by-side on future tours for the artists that we both love."

Astral People have toured artists like Nosaj Thing, BadBadNotGood and Snakehips, and are also the brains behind OutsideIn festival in Sydney.
