Leon Bridges
Get ready to bask in the Texas sun right here in Melbourne, because soulful singer-songwriter Leon Bridges is coming to town. He released his new album Leon (which was six years in the making) last November, and now he’s ready to serenade Sidney Myer Music Bowl for a single Melbourne date.
The Texan singer-songwriter is known for his powerful live sets, with this one expected to draw from his entire career-spanning catalogue of songs. This will be the sixth time Bridges has visited Australia and the Melbourne show is just one stop on a national tour that also includes dates in Brisbane, Bowral and Sydney.
Support for the Melbourne gig comes from fresh local favourites Glass Beams, who’ve been generating buzz due to their mysterious identities and unusual fusion of surf rock and traditional Indian music. Also warming up the crowd are Los Bitchos, a sun-soaked instrumental four-piece from London.
Catch the action on Thursday, January 23 at the bowl. Tickets are on sale now over here for $119.90.
