Vance Joy Unveils New Music Video For Single SATURDAY SUN From NATION OF TWO

On the heels of the North American leg of his Nation Of Two World Tour and a highly-anticipated return to Coachella, Vance Joy released today a stunning music video for the latest single "Saturday Sun" from his sophomore album Nation of Two. Watch the video here!

The eye-catching visual for "Saturday Sun" was directed by The Young Astronauts and stars a suited-up, corporate version of Vance Joy, who finds himself daydreaming on the job. His weekend memories of finding new love collide with his boring daily work routine, blending his colorful imagination into reality.

The new clip comes on the heels of the eagerly-awaited launch of the North American leg of Vance Joy's biggest worldwide headline tour thus far. The stateside dates of the Nation of Two World Tour will get underwayApril 13th at Berkeley, CA's world-renowned Greek Theatre and continue into the summer (tour itinerary attached).

This Sunday, April 15th, Vance Joy will return to Coachella for a second time to perform at 4:45pm on the Coachella stage. This year's performance will follow his momentous 2015 Coachella debut where the "Mojave tent was overflowing" and he "wowed the crowd." The multi-Platinum singer-songwriter will continue to perform at several high-profile festivals throughout 2018, including Shaky Knees, Firefly and more.

Nation of Two - which includes previous hit single "Lay It On Me" in addition to "Saturday Sun" - has been streamed over 150 million times globally since its February 23rd release. The 13-track collection debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 and at No. 5 on the Current Album Sales chart with over 27,000 sales equivalents first week. Nation of Two is being further celebrated with a vinyl edition that will arrive May 25th and is available for pre-order today at www.vancejoy.com/store.

Nation of Two has not only proven a sales and streaming success, but the sophomore album has earned widespread critical applause around the world. "Keogh has crafted a confident follow-up in Nation of Two that signals a promising career ahead," raved USA Today. "The Australian singer-songwriter has gone deeper and broader," added Newsday, "making singalongs that sound even bigger, ready for the stadiums he played as (Taylor) Swift's opener." Entertainment Weekly continues, "Joy focused on crafting piercing vignettes of young love and emotional restlessness --- and the results absolutely thrill." "It all adds up to an appealing album from an artist with a promising future," wrote Associated Press. "This is (Vance Joy's) time to really shine - and he seizes it."

Vance Joy - who was recently featured on the cover of Rolling Stone Australia - celebrated the release of Nation of Two with a run of high-profile national TV performances of "Saturday Sun," including CBS' The Late Late Show with James Corden and NBC's Today.

The album spawned the 4x Platinum blockbuster hit, "Riptide" and RIAA Platinum certified "Mess Is Mine." dream your life away also featured "fire and the flood" and "Georgia," which are both now certified Gold.
