Overview
When Flume was named on the Coachella bill, Australians hoped it'd be the prelude to a local tour. When he was announced as one of Spilt Milk's headliners for its upcoming November and December fests, we hoped that solo shows would also be on the itinerary. Now arrives the news that music fans have been waiting for: the Aussie star's Palaces world tour will play a heap of cities before the end of the year.
Flume will hit up Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Hobart, all in support of his new album — which, handily, drops this Friday, May 20 and is also called Palaces. So, you now know what you'll be listening to for the next few months, and also when you'll be able to dance to its tracks played live.
Your destinations: Red Hill Auditorium in Perth, Brisbane's Riverstage, The Dome in Sydney, John Cain Arena in Melbourne, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre and Hobart's Regatta Grounds. The tour will kick off in Western Australia in mid-November, making its way around the nation before finishing in Tasmania in early summer.
The string of shows marks Flume's first live dates on home soil since 2019 — for obvious reasons — and he'll have impressive company. Also joining him: Caroline Polachek, Channel Tres, Toro y Moi and Vera Blue, plus appearances by MAY-A.
Tickets go on sale at 10am local time on Thursday, May 26, with pre-sales from 10am on Wednesday, May 25.
