New Zealand indie-pop singer Benee has announced a world tour, spanning the first half of next year.
The tour will kick off in her home country early next year before heading to Australia in March, Europe and the UK across April and May, and North America in June. It also includes a number of festival line-ups. Tickets are on sale here.
The tour announcement follows the release of Benee’s debut album ‘Hey u x’ in November last year. NME gave the album four stars upon its release, describing the record as “the sound of a pop star who’s resolutely herself and, ultimately, there’s nothing cooler than that”.
Benee followed up ‘Hey u x’ last month with her new single ‘Doesn’t Matter’, written during a period when she felt “truly overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck”.
