Following the success of his intimate headline dates in July 2012 - with all shows selling out in under minute - Handsome Tours are pleased to announce solo shows for Jamie xx in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney this March/April. The dates come as part of The xx's previously announced Australian tour, which has seen almost instant venue sell-outs and second shows added due to epic demand.
The past few years have been meteoric for Jamie xx, who has earned a name for himself as one of the world's hottest producers. In 2011 he crafted the underground hit 'Far Nearer' and collaborated with Gil Scott-Heron on the album We're New Here, a re-envisioned version of Scott-Heron's 2010 masterpiece I'm New Here. We're New Here features Jamie's brilliant remixes of 'NY Is Killing Me' and 'I'll Take Care of U', which was later reworked by Drake and Rihanna for their worldwide #1 'Take Care'. In 2011, Jamie also reworked Radiohead's track 'Bloom' for their remix album TKOLRMX123456.
The xx have quickly become one of the most in demand acts on the planet, with 2012 seeing their second album Coexist impressively debuting at number two on the ARIA charts, with similar chart-topping results around the globe.
