Rober DeLong to Launch Headlining Tour in September

Singer, songwriter, producer, programmer and drummer ROBERT DELONG-touted as a "2013 Artist to Watch" by the likes of MTV, Billboard and VIBE-has announced he will embark on a headlining tour in early fall. An in-demand festival act who has already performed this year at Coachella, SXSW, Sasquatch! and Ultra Music Festival, just to name a few, DELONG will kick off a run of his own shows beginning August 31 in Toronto which will take him through several markets in the Northeast including Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis, Syracuse, Washington, D.C., Albany, New York City, Pittsburgh and more. Tickets go on sale today, Wednesday, July 17 at http://robertdelong.com/robert-delong-headlining-tour/.

At these shows, ROBERT DELONG will feature material from his debut album JUST MOVEMENT out now on Glassnote Records. A one-man futuristic dance party with beats as cerebral as Orbital and club-ready as Calvin Harris, DELONG is also a profoundly gifted singer/songwriter who raises questions about identity and spirituality. These two elements join together on JUST MOVEMENT, a dazzling collection of dance beats, pop hooks and thought-provoking queries. The 12-track album features the breakout single "Global Concepts," which continues to build at radio stations across the country with strong play onSiriusXM's Alt Nation.

DELONG's "dynamic stage presence," as highlighted by Katherine Tulich from the Los Angeles Times (5/31/13), has also caught the attention of many influential promoters landing him performance slots at major festivals worldwide. Prior to the launch of his tour, ROBERT will be traveling down under to appear at Australia's Splendour In the Grass, with a performance atLollapalooza to follow., Budweiser Made In America, Treasure Island Music Festival, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and many more are also on his tour agenda for the remainder of the year. He'll also take his charismatic live performance overseas where he'll be performing at such top international festivals as Belgium's Pukkelpop and the UK's Reading Festival and Leeds Festival.
