Harlequin Dream will be out in August with a tour later in the year.
After the announcement of a few select festival appearances – including Splendour In The Grass, Caloundra Music Festival and Mackay's River Sessions – over the past couple of months and the first taste of their new album being unveiled a couple of weeks ago, Boy & Bear this morning announce a big national tour as well as the release date for their second album.
The folk-pop quintet have been hard at work on the album, which they've called Harlequin Dream, for around eight months and, if that first single Southern Sun is anything to go by, this could be one of the biggest local LPs of the year. Given their debut Moonfire score five ARIA awards and achieved platinum sales status, there are no doubt some lofty expectations for the record.
The band have announced it will be released on Friday 16 August and will play dates all around the country in support of it throughout October and November. Dates are below and tickets are on sale from this Thursday morning!
