Belle & Sebastian announce Australian tour with Badly Drawn Boy

Belle & Sebastian are set to bring their twelfth studio album, Late Developers, to Australian fans on a long-awaited tour of the country this August. The Scottish indie-rock icons will hit Astor Theatre on Tuesday, August 27.

Joining Belle & Sebastian will be English singer-songwriter Badly Drawn Boy, marking their first trip down under in over twenty years.

Since their debut in 1996 with the record Tigermilk and subsequent releases, including 1998’s The Boy With the Arab Strap and 2003’s Catastrophe Waitress, Belle & Sebastian have won fans across the world with their prolific songwriting talent and influential indie-pop sound.

Releasing his first album in ten years, Banana Skin Shoes, in 2020, Badly Drawn Boy (aka Damon Gough) re-entered radars with a collection of material to remind new and old fans alike of his exemplary songwriting skill.

Belle & Sebastian play Astor Theatre on Tuesday, August 27, 2024. Tickets are on sale Thursday, May 9 from destroyalllines.com
