British hip hop artist Loyle Carner will bring his forthcoming new album 'Hopefully!' to Australia late 2025.
The Mercury Prize and Brit Awards nominated musician, who was NME Awards Best British Solo Artist in 2018, will headline concerts in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in December. Known for his confessional hip hop flows and jazz-infused beats, Loyle showcases an increased diversity on 'Hopefully!' that sees him singing and producing, as well as accidentally forming the band of his dreams.
He teased the album (which is slated for release on 20 June) earlier this month with the twin singles 'All I Need' and 'In My Mind', which finds Carner musing about the life-affirming exploration of fatherhood, childhood and alternative music, the music buoyed by a positivity and lightness of touch.
A passionate advocate around his experiences of dyslexia and ADHD – notably founding the Chilli Con Carner cookery workshops – last year he received an honorary doctorate from UAL in recognition of his powerful rise thus far.
He was also recently confirmed to make his acting debut in 'Mint', a BBC drama from BAFTA-nominated 'Scrapper' director Charlotte Regan.
Tickets on sale from 9am (local time) on 30 April.
