José González 2016 Australian Tour
Conceived as the third part of an acoustic trilogy complementing 2006’s ‘Veneer’ and 2007’s ‘In Our Nature’, the album is almost entirely self-produced, becoming as González sees it, his “zoomed-out eye on humanity on a small, pale blue dot in a cold, sparse and unfriendly space”.
Mastering the rare craft of spellbinding audiences armed only with his classical guitar and gentle melodies, José González will deliver solo performances imbued with his daringly understated ...

Travelling across three countries and seven cities to perform at some of the best live music settings around, the following artists will hit Singapo...

The 1975 Aussie Tour
It is that loyalty that inspired me to write this letter, scrappy as it may be. This is the beginning of a new chapter for The 1975. Our new record signifies the start of a new world for us, more colourful world a less colourful world. We want to play shows we want a real shared experience, we want to play HUGE shows that we never thought were possible, we want to play sets at festivals that people talk about for ages cos it was fun and it was music and the weather was perfect and we want ...
