Chromeo Announce Alice Ivy and Sam Bluer As Special Guests For Much-Awaited Australian Shows

Making up for lost time, Chromeo will heat up dancefloors in Melbourne and Sydney next month with their first Australian shows in six years. It's clear that fans down under are still Head Over Heels for the Canadian electro-funk duo, with only a handful of tickets remaining for their Melbourne show and Sydney close behind.

Chromeo are touring in celebration of their fifth studio LP Head Over Heels, out now via Warner Music. Led by first single 'Must've Been (feat. Dram)', the album takes you on a twelve-track journey through funk and R&B history, colliding with modern pop songcraft.

'Funk is slick, funk is cool, funk brings us all together. Funk-by-numbers has not yet had an update worth of Sly Stone; but in Head Over Heels, Chromeo have cracked it. They never miss a beat in updating it for 2018.' - Drowned In Sound
Turning these shows into a triple threat of talent, Frontier Touring are delighted to confirm that Alice Ivy and Sam Bluer will be joining both shows as Chromeo's special guests.

Before even releasing her debut album I'm Dreaming earlier this year, artist and producer Alice Ivy had firmly established herself as an artist to watch. Two years earlier, her showcase at Brisbane's BIGSOUND 2016 was widely reported as one of the best at the music conference, and her debut single 'Touch' racked up more than a million Spotify streams and praise from Thump, Complex and Red Bull Music.

More than 120 Alice Ivy live shows across four continents followed, including support slots for the likes of Foster The People, Oh Wonder and Billie Eilish, and sets at renowned festivals including Splendour In The Grass, Falls Festival, VIVID, Panama and more. Don't miss a performance from an artist triple j has called 'old-school Kanye, The Avalanches and Mark Ronson rolled into one'.

Rounding out the stacked line-up at Chromeo's shows is Melbourne singer-songwriter Sam Bluer. After first making his mark with a feature on Oh Boy's 'Love Me Right' last year, a stint in LA working in the studio alongside his favourite producers saw Bluer catch the attention of tastemaker Nic Kelly. Swiftly after this fateful meeting, Bluer signed to Kelly's label Night High Records and spent the following year writing and recording.

Debut single 'Shift', an anti-love song with bite, is the first of many releases to come from Bluer in 2018. Don't miss this rare chance to get to witness Bluer live before the rest of the world catches onto his talent. As Pilerats says, 'just try not to fall in love with him'.

Melbourne and Sydney, you've been warned - there are only a handful of chances left to witness Chromeo's glistening R&B jams and retro breakdowns live in all their glory. Now with added Alice Ivy and Sam Bluer, these shows are set to be a non-stop party for all those lucky enough to secure a ticket.
