A Kimbra Australian tour 2012 has been announced for the adopted-Australian songbird who has shot to fame around the world off the back of the runaway success of her duet with Gotye and her platinum selling album.
The Kimbra Australian tour will see the jetsetting Kiwi play five dates across the country in May for her first solo tour in close to a year. The intimate affair will see Kimbra bring her acclaimed live show to limited-capacity venues for what is set to be one of the hottest tickets in town.
Kimbra has spent the past year carving her name into the Australian psyche and has started to export her unique brand of Jazz infected POP to an eager global audience. During this time, she has released four hit singles – ‘Settle Down’, ‘Cameo Lover’, ‘Good Intent’ and ‘Two Way Street’ (all of which featured in triple j’s Hottest 100), and a Platinum album – ‘Vows’, (she won the 2011 ARIA Award for Best Female Artist).
But her star really started to shine bright overseas after she joined forces with Gotye for ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ – a 8x Platinum colossus that has reached #1 in 11 countries and is currently streaking up the US Billboard charts.
The Kimbra Australian tour will be joined by another of the country’s most promising young artists – one Daniel Merriweather – who has taken the world by storm in recent years (including a Platinum album in the UK) with his impossibly smooth vocals and a little bit of help from long-time friend Mark Ronson.
Now residing in New York, the ARIA Award winner returns home to give us a little taste of what’s to come from his long-awaited sophomore album.
In the months ahead, Kimbra will perform at some of SXSW’s most celebrated events before back-to-back US tours alongside Gotye and Foster the People.
While she has already achieved more than most artists would dare dream of – it would appear as if it is only the beginning for the 21 year old Kimbra, whose trajectory is well and truly on track for worldwide superstardom. This is an opportunity that won’t be repeated anytime soon – don’t miss out.
Tickets go on sale to Frontier members from midday this Thursday, and for everyone else from 9am Monday 19 March.
