Shamir Names GL & Jess Kent As Live Supports, With A Little DJ Help From Some Friends

The ascendant 20-year-old is filling out his Aussie road crew with some choice selections

More Shamir Shamir

Oz-bound Laneway drawcard Shamir has lifted the veil on the local performers who will join him in support of his previously announced headline shows early next year when he's in the country for the festival.

In Melbourne, where the On The Regular scribe performs at Howler on Thursday 4 February, he will be joined by 'cosmic-funk' revivalist duo GL, with local champs Total Giovanni providing their DJing skills for good measure, while in Sydney — at the Oxford Art Factory on Thursday 11 February — his support will come from electro-indie-hip-pop prodigy Jess Kent, alongside DJ action from stalwart outfit Collarbones.

Tickets for both headline shows are available now via Moshtix.
