Sample master and festival veteran Harley Streten, better known by the stage name Flume, has never staged a headline show in his home country. But that will change in April when the 21-year-old embarks on his first ever headline tour.
Kicking things off in Sydney at the Hordern Pavilion, a venue that has previously played host to a slew of little-known acts such including Kraftwerk, Coldplay and Queen, Streten will move on to dominate Melbourne’s Festival Hall and Brisbane’s Riverstage before heading west. Soultronica crooner Chet Faker, a sizeable force on the local scene himself who sold out three Melbourne shows and one Oxford Art Factory last year, will be in support for what Streten has dubbed the Infinity Prism Tour.
His woozy textures, soaring vocal samples and catchy washes of RnB have won the kid many fans both overseas and on home turf, so have your clicking finger waiting when tickets go on sale Friday, 1 March. And as you're counting down the seconds until 10am, there are enough crazy wall posts on his Facebook page to keep you well entertained.
