Acclaimed Australian artist Flume will embark on a massive global tour this year with more than 70 dates worldwide to celebrate the release of his highly anticipated forthcoming album Skin, out May 27 on Mom + Pop. Flume will play shows across North America this summer, including New York's Forest Hills Stadium, Los Angeles' Shrine Amphitheater, Colorado's iconic Red Rocks, San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic, Seattle's Paramount Theater, San Diego's Valley View Casino Center and many more. Watch a trailer for the tour here.

Exclusive fan presales will be available via Songkick this Friday, May 6 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets will go on sale to the public Thursday, May 12 at 10 a.m. local time.

Flume has also teamed up with Pandora to give listeners an exclusive mixtape station loaded with songs that inspired him while creating Skin. Pandora listeners who have added a Flume station also have a chance to be among the first to get tickets to the U.S. tour through an exclusive Pandora presale beginning at 10 a.m. local time Monday, May 9 through Wednesday, May 11 at 10 P.m. local time.

Flume closed Coachella's Outdoor Stage both weekends at this year's festival, debuting new live material from Skin and a new live show. To find balance in sound and scale in a live setting, Flume worked with an expert team led by production designer Rob Sinclair (LCD Soundsystem, Florence + the Machine, Lorde) and Jonathan Zawada (Skin album art) with visual artist David Wexler of Strangeloop Studios (Flying Lotus, The Rolling Stones, Hudson Mohawke) and Lighting Designer Stu Dingley.

Skin is already receiving great critical acclaim: Pitchfork calls the music "custom made for dark, secluded warehouse raves" while Nylon names it "powerful and utterly unique" and Consequence of Sound declares it "swaggering and hypnotic." Skin is now available for preorder here.

Debut single "Never Be Like You" continues to climb U.S. charts, currently #29 on pop radio and #71 on the Billboard Hot 100 after being streamed more than 100 million times since release and reaching #1 on Spotify's Global Viral Chart and #1 on Hype Machine. Climbing up the Top 100 Shazam charts globally, the track is seeing radio success across Europe and is a #1, double Platinum single in Australia, a first for Flume, as well as #2 and Platinum in New Zealand.

Annie Mac recently debuted Flume's "Say It" featuring Tove Lo, as a Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1. Listen to "Say It," of which Annie Mac says, "He's done it again, Flume has made another smasher," here.

Flume is 24-year-old Australian producer Harley Streten. Since the 2012 release of his self-titled debut, Flume continues to receive feverish support from fans and critics alike, becoming one of the first artists to top 200 million Soundcloud plays and reaching more than 366 million streams on Spotify. The New York Times' Ben Sisario praises Flume's "darkly textured electronic songs with a soulful edge."
