Tourist Announces Debut Aussie Headline Shows

UK producer Tourist has announced his very first set of Australian headline shows this morning, just days out from dropping his debut record, U, this Friday.

The electronic musician — who won a Grammy for co-writing Sam Smith's Stay With Me — isn't a stranger to Australian stages, having graced festivals like Beyond The Valley and Lost Paradise a few years ago. Elsewhere, Tourist has kicked ass at Glastonbury, Coachella and Reading & Leeds.

This August's run will take in two shows on the east coast — Sydney's Oxford Art Factory on 25 August first, followed by Melbourne's Howler on 26 August.
