Frank Ocean Announces Splendour Sideshows

The biggest breakthrough artist of recent memory FRANK OCEAN will hit the stage for his very first Australian headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne this July, following the announcement of his headline appearance at SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS.

In 2012 OCEAN delivered his highly acclaimed, five-star debut studio album, Channel Orange (Def Jam/Universal Music Australia), which debuted at #2 on the US Billboard Chart and the UK Albums Chart, placed #9 on the ARIA Chat and was certified Gold in all three countries.

Channel Orange brought OCEAN a host of award nominations and a Grammy win for Best Urban Contemporary Album, the BRIT Award for International Male Artist 2013, the Soul Train Album of the Year award and the MTV Award for Man of the Year. Last month Time Magazine named him in its annual list of the 100 Most Influential People.

With SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS selling out in under an hour, Frank Ocean’s headline shows are anticipated to sell out in record time.
