Angus Stone has announced his first national tour with his new musical project, DOPE LEMON, touring across Australia in October and November.
The tour coincides with the release of Dope Lemon’s third single, Coyote, taken from the band’s debut album, the critically acclaimed Honey Bones, released earlier this year through EMI Music Australia. Three years in the making Honey Bones was released to much critical acclaim around Australia with The Saturday Paper calling it: “the most enjoyable and satisfying album of Angus Stone’s career”.
Angus Stone is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most experienced, exciting and celebrated songwriters of the past decade, and is excited to play these new songs live for the first time as he embarks on Dope Lemon’s first national tour commencing in October.
“Very stoked on this vibe. Think it’s going to be a cool little tour… can’t wait to get the lemon on the road!”
Described by Triple J as “laidback coastal rock”, the first single released earlier this year, Uptown Folks is a “lyrical montage of all things good and bad in a world run by the folks with money and its simple, world-changing message – ‘get back to the garden’.”
Received warmly by fans and media alike, Honey Bones was recorded on Stones’ farm at his personal recording studio, Belafonte Studios, with close friend Rohin Brown (The Walking Who) on guitar. They set out on a musical adventure of the mind; through sleep deprivation unplugging the artistic dam to explore the deepest recesses of maniacal creativity. The making of the record became the ultimate reflection of Angus’ existence, a world where reality and fantasy, creativity and practicality flow together unobstructed, to form things tangible but that feel like a dream.

Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Monday, September 12.
