Steve Lacy Announces Australian Tour

One of the biggest artists in the world right now Steve Lacy has today announced his return to Australia performing East Coast dates in November and December as well as appearances at Spilt Milk in Canberra, Ballarat and the Gold Coast.

Visiting Australia for the first time since the beginning of 2020, Steve Lacy will perform at The Forum Melbourne on 22nd of November, Brisbane's The Tivoli on the 23rd of November and Sydney's Enmore Theatre on the 28th of November.

Steve Lacy returns off the back of his hit stacked album Gemini Rights which released in July. Almost entirely written, produced and played by Lacy, the record acted as an incredible leap forward for the artist, propelling him to global superstar status.

Alternative and psychedelic rock songs form beautifully with jazz and psych influences, waving, R&B and gospel vocals, wrapped in a glaze of funk and hip-hop. Take for example Mercury (which he wrote, produced and performed), a latin jazz and bossa nova meets 70’s bass driven funk record. It reflects on the anxiety in the face of unrequited love, challenging his own self confidence with playfulness, falsetto vocals and whimsical emotional chants. Its title Mercury is a reference to the ruling planet of his star sign, which affects communication, the mind and language, which he dissects through the track's lyrics.

On the album was Bad Habit, which many argue is the best song of the year. It topped both Billboard's Hot R&B / Hip Hop Chart and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs Chart. Locally the track topped Spotify's Top 50 chart and peaked at No.3 on the ARIA Singles Chart. He'll return to Australia well practiced after his US Tour Dates this Spring.

Presale begins on Tuesday the 4th of October at 9am local time HERE. General public will then go on sale on Wednesday the 5th of October.
