The local support act for Damon Albarn's upcoming intimate Melbourne show has been revealed, with Courtney Barnett labelmate Fraser A. Gorman given the honours.

The singer-songwriter, who according to the man himself plays cosmic country music, will open for the Blur frontman at the Palais Theatre gig on Friday 12 December. It will continue what has been a busy end of the year for Gorman, who's been busy playing a bunch of live shows of late including BIGSOUND and supporting his pal Barnett on her national tour.

Albarn will also be performing at the Sydney Opera House while he's out here in December and you can find all the details in theGuide and The Music App.
